Ingredients

• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Use a fork or whisk to beat the eggs until the mixture is smooth and no visible egg whites remain.

Step 2

Chop the chives finely if you are using them as a garnish. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, tilting the pan so the butter coats the bottom evenly. Do not let the butter brown.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the center of the pan. It should gently spread to the edges without any stirring at this stage.

Step 5

Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the outside towards the center to form a thick custard-like consistency. Continue this until the eggs are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny on top, about another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and let the residual heat continue to cook the eggs to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Gently fold one-third of the omelette over towards the center, using a spatula to help guide it. Then, fold the opposite third over on top of the first fold, creating a cylindrical shape.

Step 9

Tilt the skillet over a plate and roll the omelette off onto the plate, seam side down.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped chives if using and serve immediately.
