  • 3 huge eggs.

  • 1 tablespoon of heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley
  • 1.5 tablespoon of diced, cold butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine eggs, yolk, heavy whipping cream, parsley, salt, and pepper; beat until foamy.
  • Give the egg mixture fifteen minutes to sit.
  • Add one tablespoon of cold, cubed butter to the egg mixture. Put aside.
  • In a 7 or 8-inch nonstick skillet, add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and place over low heat.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet after the butter has completely covered it.
  • Continue stirring the egg mixture with a spatula, scraping it off the sides and bottom as you go. The secret is to be patient!
  • Spread the eggs over the whole surface of the skillet and turn off the heat when they are set enough to stay in place when scraped through with a spatula.
  • Put a cover on it and give it a minute or two to sit.
  • Using the spatula, slowly wrap the eggs into an omelette, starting at one end.
  • After rolling into an omelette, transfer it to a platter and savor it!
