Ingredients

  • 3 eggs best to use fresh eggs
  • 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cold water
  • optional chives or chopped parsley for serving

Instructions

  • Beat the eggs with the salt in a mixing bowl until smooth and no spots of egg white remaining.
  • Strain the egg mixture through a sieve.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter into a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melt, pour in the egg mixture.
  • Constantly scrape the bottom of the pan in a circular motion, using a rubber spatula. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until small curds form.
  • Spread the eggs evenly in the pan, and cook until the edges solidify.
  • Roll the omelette carefully into a log shape. Make sure the eggs are not overcooked. It’s normal if the egg rolls are not perfectly folded.
  • Add more butter to the pan and lift the omelette to let the melted butter run underneath.
  • Brush more melted butter on top of the omelette.
  • Transfer the omelette onto a plate, seam side facing down. Sprinkle with optional herbs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
