Ingredients

You'll Need:

  • 3 eggs
  • - salt (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • - fresh chive (to serve)
Lemons and Lime

Preparation

  1. Beat the eggs with the salt until the whites and the yolks are completely combined, with no spots of egg white remaining.
  2. Over medium-low heat, melt the butter in a skillet, then pour in the eggs.
  3. 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, forming only small curds, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Once you start to see the bottom of the pan for more than a second after scraping, push the eggs into a round circular shape. Cook until the edges solidify, then tilt the pan and carefully roll the omelette on itself.
  5. Invert onto a plate, then sprinkle with chives.
  6. Serve immediately.
  7. Enjoy!

    "Make sure all of the egg is not sticking to the pan before attempting to roll. Tilting the pan when rolling is important. I mixed in some shallots, salt and paper into the egg before frying. Paired with kimchi for a twist."

    "LOVE! What a fresh, fun way to cook an egg! Thought the roll would be harder then it looks, but tipping the pan helps it along the way!"

    "If you do not have a nonstick pan like me, make sure you spray your pan or butter it because that is a mistake I made and it almost ruined the dish. Also, looks don’t matter but make sure you don’t stir it too much or the outside of the omelette will look unappetizing. Hopes this helps :)"

    "So so good! Eggs come out super fluffy from all the layers of folding. Once all the eggs were cuddled I let it sit for about 30 seconds to a minute before rolling 🙂"

    "I ate a bite before I took the picture! It was easy to make, and tastes REALLY creamy! You should use something other than a fork to mix it."

    "This is a tip I learned from Bobby Flay that is very applicable here: cook your eggs low and slow! I’m when I made this the second time I was impatient and turned the heat too high. The egg then wasn’t as creamy. The eggs got tough. Take your time! Cook on low-medium and stir gently. Delicious and decadent!"
