Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cups edible flowers (e.g., nasturtiums, pansies, or calendulas)
- 0.25 cups shredded cheese (optional, e.g., cheddar or Gruyère)
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or chives, finely chopped)
Instructions
Rinse the edible flowers gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any stems or green parts, leaving only the delicate petals.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, tilting the pan to coat the surface evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the edible flowers, shredded cheese (if using), and fresh herbs evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the flower-topped side. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully set but still tender.
Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with a few extra edible flowers and herbs if desired.
