1 tbsp Chives Chopped finely for distribution.

Method

Steps

Whisk 2-3 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until pale yellow and slightly frothy.
Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat; melt 1 tbsp butter without browning.
Pour whisked eggs into the skillet, cooking until soft curds form, about 10-15 seconds.
Gently stir the edges towards the center, tilting the pan for uncooked egg to flow out.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over one half of the omelette and let it melt for 20 seconds.
Fold the uncheesed half over the cheese, cooking until melted, about 20-30 seconds.
Transfer to a warm plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired; serve immediately.
