Instructions

• Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until the whites and yolks are fully combined and slightly frothy.
• Season the beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, and stir in the chopped chives if using.
• Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑low heat and add the butter, letting it melt and foam without browning.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan, letting it sit for a few seconds until the edges begin to set.
• Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion while simultaneously tilting the pan so the uncooked liquid flows to the edges.
• When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, fold the omelette in thirds or roll it gently onto a plate.
• Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnished with a few extra chives.
