Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add sea salt and black pepper, and blend thoroughly using a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and begin to lightly foam, coating the base of the pan evenly.
Step 3
Ensure the skillet is hot but not smoking, then pour in the beaten eggs. Stir continuously with a spatula as the eggs begin to set, pulling the cooked edges towards the center to cook evenly.
Step 4
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, stop stirring and let them sit for 10-15 seconds.
Step 5
Using the spatula, gently fold one side of the omelette towards the center. Then, tilt the pan, and fold the other side over, creating a trifold shape.
Step 6
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, seam side down, to maintain its shape.
Step 7
Sprinkle with finely chopped chives for garnish, if using. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.
