Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley), finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add 1 tablespoon of water. Season with salt and black pepper.
Whisk the eggs thoroughly using a fork or a whisk until the whites and yolks are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy. This ensures a uniform texture.
Place a non-stick 8-inch skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit, undisturbed, for about 30 seconds to allow the bottom to set slightly.
Using a silicone spatula, gently stir the eggs in circles until they begin to set and form soft curds, ensuring the eggs are spread evenly around the pan.
Stop stirring, allowing the omelet to cook slowly. When the top is still slightly runny but the rest is set, remove the skillet from the heat.
Sprinkle the finely chopped fresh herbs over the omelet.
Tilt the pan away from you and gently fold one side of the omelet over to the center using the spatula, then fold the other side overlapping the first fold.
Slide the omelet onto a plate, seam side down. Serve immediately.
