The perfect herb omelette

An herb omelette is a classic dish that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. This versatile and flavorful meal can be whipped up in no time, using just a few simple ingredients. Packed with protein and enriched with aromatic herbs and spices, it’s both nutritious and delicious.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the 3 eggs into a mixing bowl.
- Add a dash of salt to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and salt together until well combined and slightly frothy. This ensures a uniform texture for your omelette.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tsp of butter and 1 tsp of olive oil to the pan. The combination of butter and olive oil prevents the butter from burning and adds great flavor.
- Allow the butter to melt completely and the oil to heat up. Swirl the pan to ensure the entire surface is coated.
3. Cook the Eggs:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to spread them evenly across the surface.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
4. Add the Spice Mix:
- Sprinkle the 2 tbsp of spice mix evenly over the eggs. This could be a mix of your favorite herbs, such as parsley, chives, dill, or a pre-made blend.
- Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette, letting any uncooked egg flow underneath. Continue cooking until the top of the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny.
5. Fold and Finish:
- Once the omelette is mostly set, use a spatula to fold it in half. If you prefer, you can fold it into thirds for a more traditional presentation.
- Continue to cook for another 30 seconds to a minute, depending on how well done you like your omelettes. The inside should be slightly creamy.
6. Serve Immediately:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate. If desired, garnish with a few extra fresh herbs or a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
- Serve hot and enjoy your perfect herb omelette!

Tips:

- Use fresh herbs if available to boost the flavor of your omelette.

- Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before cooking for a fluffier omelette.

- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps to make the omelette light and airy.

- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking and to achieve a tender texture.

- Add the spice mix gradually and taste as you go to suit your personal preference.

Creating the perfect herb omelette is simple when you follow these steps. The combination of eggs with fresh herbs and a hint of spice makes for a mouthwatering dish that's sure to satisfy at any time of the day. Serve it hot with a side of toast or fresh salad for a complete meal.
