Crack 3 eggs into a bowl, using a flat surface to avoid shell fragments.

Use a fork to mix the eggs for 2-3 minutes until there are no visible yolks or whites.

Prepare a 10-inch non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 dabs of butter.

Wait for the butter to melt and start crackling without browning.

Add a pinch of salt to the eggs while they are still liquid.

Pour the eggs into the pan and continuously move them around to create a base.

Shape the omelette into a football shape by tilting the pan and tapping it to get the eggs to the edges.

Once shaped, let the omelette cook until it is soft and creamy, without browning.

Brush a little butter on top and garnish with chives before serving.
