The French omelette is a masterclass in technique. Unlike a diner-style omelette, it shouldn't have any brown color on the outside, and the center should be a creamy, soft scramble known as baveuse.

Ingredients You Need

• 3 large high-quality eggs
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• A pinch of kosher salt and white pepper
• Fresh chives, finely chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Vigorously whisk the eggs in a bowl with salt and white pepper until completely homogeneous and no streaks of egg white remain.

2. Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter until it's foamy but not browning.

3. Pour in the eggs and immediately begin stirring rapidly with a silicone spatula while shaking the pan back and forth to create small curds.

4. Once the eggs are mostly set but still very creamy on top, smooth them into an even layer and remove from heat.

5. Gently roll the omelette starting from the handle side, tipping it out onto a warm plate so it lands seam-side down. Garnish with fresh chives.
