French Omelette
A classic French omelette, delicately cooked to a soft, moist finish and filled with fresh herbs and two types of cheese.
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 tsp Parmesan cheese
- 12 leaves tarragon
- 4 tbsp parsley
- 4 tbsp chives
- 16 tbsp Gruyère cheese
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Steps
- Crack eggs into a bowl, beat lightly with a fork, then season with Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Chop all herbs.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter; it should bubble but not brown.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it bubble for a few seconds, then gently draw the cooked egg from the sides towards the center with a fork or spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Continue stirring gently and intermittently until most of the egg is set but still moist and barely cooked on top.
- Shake the pan to ensure the omelette slides freely. Briefly increase heat to brown the underside slightly.
- Tilt the pan away from you, fold one-third of the omelette over, and roll it onto a plate.
- Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the omelette to glaze. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.
