Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper for seasoning. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined, and the mixture has a homogeneous consistency.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of ghee. Allow the ghee to melt completely and spread evenly across the skillet surface, but ensure it doesn't brown.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds to allow the bottom layer to start cooking.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in small circular motions, starting from the edges towards the center. This will help form small curds and ensure even cooking.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and allow them to rest in the skillet for a moment to continue cooking gently.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the eggs.
Using a spatula, carefully fold one side of the omelette over the other to create a half-moon shape.
Gently transfer the omelette onto a plate by sliding or rolling it out of the skillet, seam side down.
Serve immediately while hot. Optionally, garnish with additional chives or a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
