Ingredients:

1/2 tsp salt
3g
4 eggs
200g
1 tbsp chives
3g
4.50 tbsp butter
66g
3 cobs sweet corn
310g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Corn Kernels:
- Carefully remove the kernels from the 3 cobs of sweet corn. Set aside.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- 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.
3. Cook Corn Kernels:
- 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.
4. Preheat Skillet:
- 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.
5. Cook Omelet:
- 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.
6. Add Corn and Chives:
- 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.
7. Finish Cooking:
- 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.
8. Serve:
- 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 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.
