Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 2 ounces chèvre (goat cheese)
- 1 tablespoon whole milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, lavender, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Crumble the chèvre into small pieces and keep it ready for filling the omelet.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to fully melt and coat the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.
Sprinkle the crumbled chèvre evenly over one half of the omelet.
Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the chèvre to enclose the filling. Allow it to cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the cheese has softened and the omelet is fully set.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
