Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, then add the water and a pinch of black pepper.
Whisk the mixture briskly until the eggs are uniformly combined and slightly frothy.
Finely chop the chives and parsley, and set them aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt evenly across the surface.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges and cook.
When the top begins to firm up but is still slightly runny, evenly sprinkle the chopped chives and parsley over the surface.
Fold the omelette in half using the spatula and let it cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on desired doneness.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
