Ingredients

  • Eggs - 4 large
  • Fresh chives - 10 grams, finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley - 10 grams, finely chopped
  • Fresh tarragon - 5 grams, finely chopped
  • Butter - 20 grams
  • Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add salt and black pepper.
  2. Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, and tarragon until evenly distributed.
  3. In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.
  5. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. When the top is slightly runny but the bottom is set, fold the omelette in half and let it cook for an additional minute.
  7. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
