Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Beat the mixture with a whisk or fork until the eggs and cream are fully integrated and slightly frothy.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium-low heat until fully melted and just starting to foam. Tilt the pan occasionally to ensure the bottom is evenly coated with butter.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments until they begin to set around the edges.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion while simultaneously shaking the pan with your other hand. This encourages curds to form but prevents the eggs from sticking to the pan.
Continue to stir the eggs delicately until they are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce heat to low and allow the omelet to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to finish cooking. It should be just set but still creamy and soft.
Gently push one side of the omelet towards the center using a spatula to fold it over in thirds like a letter.
Tilt the pan to allow the omelet to slide onto a plate, seam side down. Clean up the edges with the spatula if necessary.
If desired, garnish with chopped fresh chives before serving.
Serve immediately while the omelet is warm and buttery.
