Omelette with Fine Herbs

The Omelette aux Fines Herbes is a classic French breakfast known for its simplicity and refined flavor. It's a light, airy omelette enhanced with a blend of fresh herbs like parsley, chives, and tarragon. The art lies in cooking it quickly so it's lightly set on the outside and still creamy on the inside.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until the yolks and whites are well combined but not foamy.
  2. Heat a 20-22 cm non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
  3. Once the butter is foamy, pour the egg mixture into the pan. With a spatula or fork, gently push the set edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Repeat this process until most of the egg is set, but the surface is still moist and creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
