Perfect for a savory breakfast or a light lunch, this omelet is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.

Ingredients:

1 oz goat cheese
27g
0.26 tbsp fresh parsley
0.99g
1/2 tsp chives
1/2g
3 eggs
170g
2 tbsp milk (2% fat)
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tbsp butter
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients: - Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives. - Crumble the goat cheese if it's not already crumbled. - Crack the eggs into a medium bowl.
2. Mix the Eggs: - To the bowl with the eggs, add 2 tablespoons of milk and a dash of salt. - Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Heat the Pan: - Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. - Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
4. Cook the Eggs: - Pour the egg mixture into the pan once the butter is fully melted and has stopped foaming. - Let the eggs set for a moment, gently pulling the edges towards the center with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
5. Add the Fillings: - Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over one half of the omelet. - Evenly distribute the fresh parsley and chives over the goat cheese.
6. Fold the Omelet: - Allow the omelet to cook until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft in the middle. - Carefully lift the edge of the omelet with a spatula and fold it over the filling side.
7. Finish Cooking: - Let the omelet cook for another minute or so to ensure the cheese melts and the herbs release their aroma. - If necessary, you can put a lid on the pan briefly to help the cheese melt more evenly.
8. Serve: - Slide the omelet onto a plate. - Enjoy immediately while hot.

Tips:

- Ensure the eggs and milk are well-combined to achieve a fluffy texture.

- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and ensure a soft, tender result.

- Use a non-stick pan to make flipping and folding the omelet easier.

- Feel free to add other herbs or vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms to customize the omelet to your taste.

- Allow the goat cheese to soften slightly at room temperature before adding it to the omelet, so it melts more easily.

The Goat Cheese and Herb Omelet is a versatile and delicious meal option that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. The creamy goat cheese melts perfectly into the fluffy eggs, while the herbs add just the right amount of freshness. With these simple steps, you can create a nutritious and gourmet omelet in the comfort of your home.
