Method

  1. Beat the eggs

    Crack 3 Large Eggs into a small mixing bowl. Add ¼ tsp (1.5g) Kosher Salt and ⅛ tsp (0.5g) White Pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk for at least 60 seconds until the mixture is completely uniform with no visible streaks of egg white.

    2 min
  2. Prepare fillings

    Finely mince 1 tbsp (3g) Chives. Remove the rind from 1.5 oz (42g) Brie and slice the cheese into thin strips about 2 inches long.

    3 min
  3. Melt the butter

    Place an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tbsp (14g) Unsalted Butter and swirl the pan as it melts to coat the bottom and sides completely.

    1 min
  4. Form the curds

    Pour the beaten Large Eggs into the skillet. Immediately begin stirring the eggs rapidly in a circular motion with a silicone spatula while shaking the pan back and forth. Continue this for about 90 seconds until small, creamy curds form and the mixture looks like very wet scrambled eggs.

    2 min
  5. Fill and fold

    Stop stirring and use the spatula to smooth the eggs into an even layer across the pan. Place the 1.5 oz (42g) Brie strips in a line across the center. Let the omelette sit undisturbed for 30 seconds to set the bottom. Tilt the pan and use the spatula to fold the top third of the omelette over the cheese.

    1 min
  6. Plate and glaze

    Invert the omelette onto a plate so it lands seam-side down in a neat almond shape. Rub the remaining ½ tbsp (7g) Unsalted Butter over the hot surface to create a glossy sheen. Garnish with the minced 1 tbsp (3g) Chives and serve immediately.
