Ingredients
Equipment:
Directions
- In a low-sided, non-stick omelet pan, melt the butter on medium heat.
- Add the linguiça and lightly brown for three minutes, turning frequently.
- Add salt and pepper to the eggs and whisk well.
- When the linguiça is browned, push to the middle of the pan and slowly pour in the eggs.
- Shake the pan lightly to let the eggs spread out.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the eggs settle, raising the edges with a spatula, from time to time, to allow the liquid to run off to the sides.
- When most of the liquid solidifies, sprinkle with the chives, carefully fold over and let sit for 30 seconds to a minute.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute linguiça with other types of sausage such as chorizo, Italian sausage, or any smoked sausage. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile may vary slightly, so choose one that fits your taste preferences.
To store leftover omelet, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat gently in a non-stick pan or microwave until warmed through to preserve the texture.
If your omelet is not cooking evenly, it might be due to the heat being too high. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the eggs to cook more slowly, using a spatula to gently lift the edges and let uncooked egg flow to the sides to help it cook evenly.
