HERB AND MUSHROOM OMELETTE
Delicious omelette filled with cheese and an herb, mushroom and onion mix. The flavors go exceptionally well together and create a completely new flavor inside the egg. Omelette making technique is from Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."

Steps:
- Cut mushrooms into slices of desired size.
- Chop small white onion into pieces.
- Melt 1/4 tablespoon butter in a small pan over medium heat. When the melted butter has coated the pan, add the mushroom slices and onions. Sprinkle the basil over the ingredients in the pan and stir. Saute over medium heat until the mushrooms start to turn brown on the edges, about 10 minutes. When done, put to the side.
- While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, break the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the pinches of salt and pepper. Using a fork, wisk the eggs until the yolk is just mixed with the whites.
- THE NEXT STEPS MUST BE DONE AFTER PREPARATION IS COMPLETE, AS IT GOES VERY QUICKLY (< 1 MINUTE).
- On high heat, melt a table spoon of butter in a pan that has a cooking surface of about 7 inches in diameter.
- When the butter stops foaming and is about to turn brown, add the egg mixture into the pan.
- Quickly, whisk the egg in the pan until it looks like a broken custard material. Add the cheese and mushroom/herb mixture from before and let cook for another 10 to 15 seconds.
- Use the fork to make sure the omelette didn't stick to the pan.
- Use the fork to flip the edge of the omelette up, and hold the pan at 45°. Use the fork and the pan itself to make the omelette roll down on itself. This technique is tricky and requires some practice, but if done right, the omelette can just roll onto a plate.
- Garnish with parsley if desired.
- *NOTE* - I use American cheese because it melts fast, but it is entirely possible to use other types of cheese, but take a grater to it first. Enjoy!

OMELETTE WITH HERBS
A great way to use garden herbs. This is adaptable to whatever herbs you have in your garden. When I made it mostly chives and tarragon because that is what I had the most of, but I think this will be good with oregano or other fresh herbs too. The original recipe didn't use any cheese, but I added two slices of deli Swiss cheese (about 1/4 cup). Recipe source: Bon Appetit (Bon Appetit 1991)

Steps:
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs and water together and then season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in herbs (parsley - thyme or your favorites).
- *Note: In the original directions, an omlet pan was used using only half of the egg mixture and half of the butter at a time -- making two complete omlets seperately, rather than the way I indicated in the direction below.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat and add the egg mixture to pan.
- If using cheese, add cheese on top of eggs.
- Let eggs set around edges and then lift edges and tilt pan, so uncooked eggs will go under the cooked eggs.
- Cook until eggs are almost set (1 -2 minutes) and then using a spatula, roll 1/3 of omlet to center.
- Tilt pan and slide omlet onto plate.
- Garnish with chives, if desired.
