1

Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks in two separate bowls. You’ll only need 3 yolks, so discard the other 2 or reserve for another use.

2

Whisk the egg yolks until they become homogenous and pale in color. Set aside.

3

Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk until they triple in size and become white with medium peaks.

4

Carefully fold the egg yolks into the egg whites until fully incorporated.

5

Pour the egg mixture into a medium nonstick frying pan with a lid. Cook over medium-low heat until bottom of omelet has set, about 5 minutes.

6

Lift up each side of the omelette and drop a tablespoon of butter underneath.

7

Cover the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the top of the omelet has set.

8

Remove the lid and season the omelet with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.

9

Fold the omelette onto a plate and sprinkle with chives.

Enjoy!
