French Omelet

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• Pinch salt
• Pinch white pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Finely chopped chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until no traces of white remain. Then season with salt and white pepper.
2. In an 8-inch nonstick skillet with rounded sides set over medium heat, melt the butter, being careful not to let it brown and swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
3. Pour the eggs into the pan, holding the handle of the pan and gently shaking the pan back and forth.
4. Once the eggs are beginning to cook, remove the pan from the heat.
5. Run a fork around the edges to release the eggs. Tilt the pan to a 45-degree angle so that the eggs move to one side of the pan.
6. Keep the pan tilted and fold the eggs toward the edge until you have a half-moon shape, running the fork under and around the eggs as needed to loosen them from the pan.
7. Sharply tap the handle 2 or 3 times with your free hand to push the eggs over the edge by about 2 inches. Then use your fork to fold the overhanging eggs up and towards the center of the omelette.
8. Slide the omelet gently out of the pan and onto the plate.
9. Top with chopped chives or parsley before serving.
