Ingredients

  • 3 eggs, warmed in hot water for 5 minutes

    Crack the warm eggs into a bowl, add salt and blend with a fork.

    Heat a 10-inch nonstick aluminum pan over medium-high heat.

  4. 4
    Pour the eggs into the center of the pan and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula for 5 seconds.

    As soon as a semi-solid mass begins to form, lift the pan and move it around until the excess liquid pours off into the pan.
  6. 6
    Using your spatula, move it around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape into a round and loosen the edge.

    Let the omelet sit in the pan for 10 seconds without touching.
  8. 8
    Shake the pan to loosen from the pan.
  9. 9

    Using your spatula, fold over one-third of the omelet.

    Coat with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the chives.
