Ingredients
- Eggs
- 4, large
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
- Fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Fresh tarragon
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten and frothy.
- Add the finely chopped parsley, chives, tarragon, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Mix well until the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread the eggs evenly.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and the bottom is golden brown.
- Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
- Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the omelette is set but still slightly runny in the center.
- Fold the omelette in half and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the center is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot.
Tips
- For a cheesier version, add some grated cheese like Gruyère or goat cheese to the egg mixture before cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs such as basil or dill, depending on your preference.
- Serve with a side of mixed greens drizzled with a light vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
