Instructions

1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the entire pan.

3

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.

4

Using a spatula, gently push the set edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

5

When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the cheese and chives evenly over one half.

6

Fold the omelette in half with the spatula and let it cook for another 10-15 seconds. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

  • Low Heat: Cook the omelette on low to medium heat to prevent browning and ensure a tender texture.
  • Whisking: Whisk the eggs thoroughly for a lighter, fluffier omelette.
  • Cheese Options: Substitute Gruyère with cheddar, feta, or goat cheese for different flavors.
  • Fillings: Add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or ham for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serving: Serve with a side of fresh salad or toasted bread for a complete meal.
