Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Carefully remove the kernels from the 3 cobs of sweet corn. Set aside.
- Crack the 4 eggs into a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1/2 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp of black pepper to the eggs.
- Use a whisk or a fork to thoroughly beat the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet and let it melt.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is tender and lightly browned. Stir occasionally.
- Once cooked, remove the corn from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the remaining 3.5 tbsp of butter and allow it to melt. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, allowing them to spread out evenly.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Evenly sprinkle the sautéed corn kernels and the finely chopped chives over the top of the eggs.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed up and fully set in the middle. If needed, you can cover the skillet with a lid to help the top cook through.
- Once the omelet is cooked, carefully slide it onto a serving plate. You can fold the omelet in half if you prefer.
- Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor and texture.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps make the omelet light and fluffy.
- Cook the butter until it just begins to froth for a rich, nutty flavor that enhances the omelet.
- Fold the omelet gently to avoid breaking it and to keep the fluffy texture intact.
- Sprinkle additional chives on top before serving for a fresh and vibrant garnish.
Your Puffy Corn Omelet with Chives is now ready to serve! This fluffy and flavorful omelet is sure to be a hit with family and friends, bringing a burst of fresh flavors to your breakfast table. Enjoy it on its own or with a side of toast and fresh fruit for a complete meal.
