Melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir rapidly for 20 to 30 seconds, until they are just starting to set. Spread the eggs into an even layer and cook until they are just slightly underdone and shiny. If necessary, move any extra raw egg to the edges of the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low to prevent browning, if necessary.

Sprinkle cheese and chives down the middle of the omelet. Fold one side over the cheese, followed by the other side, so the omelet is folded in thirds. Transfer the omelet to a plate and sprinkle with the remaining chives.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
