1

Crack 3 medium-sized eggs into a bowl and lightly whip them until the white and yolk are completely combined.

2

Add a good amount of unsalted butter to a non-stick skillet and let it dissolve without foaming.

3

Season the eggs with salt and mix them gently.

4

Heat the skillet on a low flame, ensuring it is still quite high but not foamy.

5

Once the butter is melted, pour in the eggs and start moving the pan slightly to ensure even cooking.

6

Gently pull the cooked edges into the middle while tilting the pan to let uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

7

Add salt, pepper, and chives to the eggs while they cook.

8

Fold the omelette in half and let it cook for a few more seconds to achieve a slightly gooey center.
