Instructions

1. Step 1: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl and whisk vigorously with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foaming but not browned.
3. Step 3: Pour the eggs into the skillet and let cook undisturbed for 10 seconds until the edges begin to set. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in small circles for 20 seconds until softly set but still creamy.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley evenly over the eggs. Fold one third of the omelette over the center, then fold the opposite side to create a tri-fold.
5. Step 5: Slide the omelette onto a warm plate immediately while still tender and serve.
