Omelet
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown

Ingredients
3 eggs, warmed in hot water for 5 minutes
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon room temperature butter, plus 1/2 teaspoon for finishing omelet
1/2 teaspoon fresh chopped chives

Instructions
Crack warm eggs into bowl, add salt, and blend with
fork. Heat a 10-inch non-stick aluminum pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot
add butter and brush around surface of pan. Pour eggs into center of pan and stir
vigorously with rubber spatula for 5 seconds. As soon as a semi-solid mass begins
to form lift pan and move around until the excess liquid pours off into pan. Using

your spatula move around the edge of the egg mixture to help shape into round and
loosen edge. Let omelet sit in pan for 10 seconds without touching.

Shake pan to loosen from pan. Lift up the far edge of the pan and snap it back
toward you. Using your spatula, fold over 1/3 of the omelet. Slide omelet onto
plate and fold over so that omelet is a tri-fold. Coat with remaining butter and
sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.
