Best Overstuffed Herb Omelet Recipes

FINES HERBS OMELETTE

Steps:

• To make the Fines Herbs, combine the parsley, chervil, chives and tarragon in a small bowl and set aside.
• Break the eggs into a small bowl, and then add the milk, 2 tablespoons Fines Herbs, salt and pepper and whisk with a fork.
• Preheat an 8-inch nonstick saute pan over medium hot heat and swirl the olive oil into the pan. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl it in the pan. For a few seconds, gently stir the egg mixture with a heat resistant rubber spatula (as if you were going to make scrambled eggs) and then swirl the eggs in the pan to make a nice round appearance. Reduce the heat to avoid any color or scorching. Continue cooking for about 1 minute. The eggs will be set on the bottom, but slightly liquid on top.
• Flip the omelet, and remove it from the heat. Crumble the goat cheese over the center of the omelet and top it off with the roasted peppers. Tri-fold the omelet and plate immediately.

OMELETTE WITH HERBS

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.

SPINACH AND HERB OMELET

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss the avocado with the lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
• In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add onion and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add jalapeno and spinach; cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl; stir in chives and cheese; set aside.
• Wipe the skillet and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add half the egg mixture and cook until nearly set, 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon half of the spinach mixture into the center, fold the omelet over, halve crosswise, and place on serving plate. Top with half the avocado. Repeat with remaining tablespoon of oil, egg and spinach mixtures, and avocado. Serve with mango and kiwi.

FRENCH HERBED OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, pepper and salt in a bowl.
• Stir in the herbs.
• Heat 1 teaspoon each of the oil and butter in a nonstick frying pan over high heat.
• When the oil and butter are hot, add half the egg mixture.
• Stir it continuously with a fork while shaking the pan for about 2 minutes to create small curds.
• When most of the mixture is solid, cook it without stirring for 10 seconds to create a thin``skin´´ on the underside of the mixture, binding it together.
• Roll the omelet by bringing together 2 opposite edges.
• Invert in a plate.
• Repeat process using remainder of ingredients to create a second omelette.
• Serve immediately, half an omelet per person.

FRESH HERBS OMELET

Steps:

• Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt), and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.
