Delicious Herb Omelette Recipe – A French Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
1
  • 3 large eggs (fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (optional for creaminess)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk, and whisk until combined.

    Whisking well incorporates air for a fluffier omelette.
  2. Add Herbs

    Stir in the chopped parsley and chives into the egg mixture.

    Use fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  3. Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

    Ensure the butter is bubbling but not browned.
  4. Cook the Omelette

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to cover the bottom evenly.

    Cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes.
  5. Finish Cooking

    Gently lift the edges with a spatula and allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.

    Do not stir; let it cook until almost set.
  6. Fold and Serve

    Once set, fold the omelette in half and slide onto a plate.

    Serve immediately for the best texture.
