Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh tarragon
- 0.5 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and frothy. This will help create a smooth texture for the omelette.
Add the chopped parsley, chives, tarragon, and dill to the eggs. Season with salt and black pepper, and whisk everything together to evenly distribute the herbs and seasoning.
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
Add the butter to the skillet, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly. Once melted but not browned, tilt the pan to ensure full coverage.
Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 10-15 seconds to allow the bottom to begin setting.
Using a heatproof spatula, gently push the edges of the omelette toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges. Repeat this process as needed to cook the eggs evenly while keeping them soft and creamy.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top, tilt the skillet and carefully roll or fold the omelette in half using the spatula.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, seam-side down, for a tidy presentation. Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
