Instructions
Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy. Stir in half the chives.
Heat the Pan
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until it foams. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit for 15 seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Fold and Serve
When the surface is just barely set and still slightly glossy, fold the omelette in thirds and slide onto a plate. Garnish with the remaining chives and serve immediately.
