Classic French-Style Omelette

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 tsp fresh chives, finely chopped

Method

1. 1

   Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with a fork until the whites and yolks are fully combined and no streaks remain. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and foaming (but not browned), pour in the eggs.

3. 3

   Using a spatula, constantly stir the eggs in circular motions while shaking the pan back and forth to create small, soft curds.

4. 4

   Once the eggs are about 75% set but still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and smooth the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to set the bottom.

5. 5

   Tilt the pan and carefully roll or fold the omelette onto itself, sliding it out onto a plate so the seam side is down. Garnish with chopped chives.
