French Omelette Recipe

Omelette Preparation

1. 1

   Beat the Eggs

   Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and black pepper. Using a fork or whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

2. 2

   Heat the Pan

   Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the skillet.

3. 3

   Cook the Omelette

   Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the cooked edges towards the center while tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

4. 4

   Finish Cooking

   When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top (about 2-3 minutes), remove the skillet from the heat.

5. 5

   Add Butter and Chives

   Dab the remaining tablespoon of butter on top of the omelette. Sprinkle chopped chives over the omelette.

6. 6

   Fold and Serve

   Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
