Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 whole eggs
  • chives
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • 1 whole English muffin
  • Canadian bacon
  • 2 slices American cheese
Beat two eggs with chives, black pepper and salt; salting before cooking keeps the eggs moister and more tender.
  • butter
Heat a carbon steel or non-stick pan with a little butter over moderately high heat; pour in the eggs so they sizzle, to make a thin omelet.
A thin omelet with the fillings laid in
Lay the Canadian bacon slices, the cheese slices and the English muffin halves on the egg; let it set lightly while the top stays a little runny.
Flip with a spatula, let the raw side set for a second, then fold the omelet in from the sides around the fillings.
