ingredients
Steps
Prepare Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Add most of the chopped parsley and chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Cook in Pan
Melt the butter in a 8-9 inch (20-24 cm) non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is foaming, pour in the egg mixture. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the bottom sets.
Finish Omelette
Gently push the cooked edges of the egg towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat a few times until most of the omelette is set but the top is still slightly moist. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve Immediately
Fold the omelette in half in the pan, then carefully slide it onto a plate. Garnish with the reserved fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the omelette; it's best when the center is still slightly creamy.
► Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor experience.
► Experiment with other herbs like dill or basil to suit your taste.
