A silky, tender omelette with a golden exterior and creamy interior — a timeless French technique that's quick, elegant, and endlessly customizable.
Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp shredded Gruyère or cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl to coat the pan. When the butter melts and just begins to foam, pour in the eggs.
  3. Using a spatula, quickly stir the eggs in small circles while gently shaking the pan. Stop stirring when the eggs are just set but still slightly glossy on top, about 1–2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle cheese and chives over one half of the omelette.
  5. Tilt the pan and fold the omelette in half over the filling. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
