  • DIRECTIONS
    1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and salt until fully combined.
    2. In a nonstick pan, over low heat, melt butter.
    3. When butter is melted, pour eggs. Using a rubber spatula, constantly scrape the bottom of the pan while shaking the pan in a circular motion, to ensure that the eggs cook slowly. Stop stirring as soon as eggs are very softly scrambled and creamy. About 1-2 minutes.
    4. Turn the heat off, tilt skillet up by its handle, gently roll the omelette down over itself. Invert onto a plate, brush the omelette with butter, then sprinkle with chives.
    5. Serve immediately.
    Notes:
    It is important to use the right size pan.
    Best eggs to pan ratio:
    2 eggs: 17-18cm (6-7 inches) pan
    3 eggs: 20cm (8-inches) pan
    4 eggs: 23-24 cm (9- inch) pan
