Ingredients

  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp, chopped Fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp, chopped Fresh tarragon
  • 1 tsp, chopped Fresh chervil(optional)
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Heavy cream(optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, pepper, and cream if using, and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until fully combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Stir in the chopped chives, parsley, tarragon, and chervil.

  3. 3

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan.

  4. 4

    Pour in half the egg mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, using a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center as they set, letting uncooked egg flow underneath.

  5. 5

    When the omelet is mostly set but still slightly glossy on top, sprinkle with a little extra herbs if desired, fold it in half, and slide onto a plate.

  6. 6

    Repeat with the remaining butter and egg mixture for the second omelet and serve immediately.
