Ingredients
Method
Beat
- Beat eggs with salt and pepper just until the whites and yolks combine — do not overbeat. Snip the chives.
Cook
- Heat an 18–20 cm non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add butter; when foaming, pour in the eggs.
- Stir with a spatula in small circles, shaking the pan, until almost set but still soft (about 30–45 seconds). Stop stirring, sprinkle chives, fold or roll, and tip onto a plate. The centre should stay creamy.
Serving
Slide onto a warm plate immediately; do not wait.
Storage
Best eaten at once. Not suitable for leftovers.
