Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk well to incorporate.
Gently fold in the chopped parsley, chives, dill, and basil, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface of the pan.
Pour the egg and herb mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure an even layer.
Cook the omelet undisturbed for approximately 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to check that it isn't sticking and allow any uncooked egg to flow beneath.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on one half, if using.
Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately for a fresh, herb-packed delight.
