Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or tarragon)
- nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add water, salt, and pepper. Beat the mixture with a fork or whisk until the eggs are well combined and frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, avoiding breaking them into pieces, until they just begin to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Stop stirring and allow the eggs to settle into a smooth layer across the skillet. Ensure the eggs are still soft and slightly undercooked in the center.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs evenly across the top of the omelette.
Tilt the skillet away from you at a slight angle. Using the spatula, fold one side of the omelette over the center to create a semicircle shape.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it over again if necessary to achieve a classic French omelette shape.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
