Instructions

1. Step 1: Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Add 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Whisk vigorously until fully blended and slightly frothy.
2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and shimmering (about 1 minute).
3. Step 3: Pour in the egg mixture. Let it set for 10 seconds until edges begin to firm, then gently push cooked edges toward the center with a silicone spatula.
4. Step 4: Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath, until the top is mostly set but still slightly moist (about 2 minutes total).
5. Step 5: Sprinkle 2 tbsp finely chopped chives over one half of the omelette. Fold the other half over the chives, then slide onto a plate. Serve immediately while golden and tender.
