Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them lightly until the yolks and whites are just combined. Avoid overbeating as it can affect the omelette's texture.
Chop the fresh chives finely and set aside for garnish.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium-low heat until it is fully melted and the pan is evenly coated.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for about 10 seconds without stirring to allow the bottom to begin setting slightly.
Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion to ensure even cooking. Scrape down the sides too, forming soft curds.
Season the eggs with sea salt and black pepper.
As the eggs set but are still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and allow the omelette to cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute until the bottom is firm.
Using the spatula, lift one edge of the omelette and fold it over the opposite side, creating a semi-circle.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, seam side down. The residual heat will continue to cook the inside while keeping it soft and creamy.
Garnish with chopped chives, and serve immediately.
