Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth.
- Heat the Pan: Place an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently and continuously with a silicone spatula, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.
- Form the Omelet: As the eggs begin to set but are still slightly runny, stop stirring. Tilt the pan to let the eggs cover the bottom evenly.
- Fold the Omelet: Gently fold the omelet in thirds using the spatula. Slide it onto a plate.
- Garnish: Sprinkle fresh chives or parsley on top before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of heavy cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs and butter for the best results.
- Practice makes perfect. Don't worry if your first few attempts aren't perfect; the technique will improve with time.
