Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 0.5 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 5 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
As the omelette starts to set, use a spatula to gently pull the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese over one-half of the omelette.
Using the spatula, fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour to create a paste and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Finely chop the basil leaves and parsley, then stir them into the sauce. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the sauce from heat and pour over the prepared omelette. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich combination of creamy sauce with the fluffy, herb-infused omelette.
