Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., chives, parsley, or tarragon, optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add water, salt, and pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork or whisk until the eggs are completely blended and a bit frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet (8-10 inches in diameter) over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, moving it around the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Once the butter is fully melted and just starting to bubble, pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula, gently push the edges of the eggs toward the center while tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny in the center (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs over the surface of the omelette.
Gently lift one edge of the omelette with the spatula and fold it over to the center. Tilt the pan slightly to help the omelette fold neatly. Slide or carefully fold the omelette over one more time to form a cylindrical or tri-fold shape.
Transfer the omelette to a plate and serve immediately. Garnish with a few extra herbs, if desired, and enjoy!
