Best 3 Fresh Herbs Omelet Recipes

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.

PERSIAN BAKED OMELET WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• In a large nonstick sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Add the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch ovenproof nonstick pan with nonstick spray.
• Add the green onions and garlic to the caramelized onion and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until the leaves begin to wilt, 2 minutes. Add the cilantro, parsley, chives, dill and pine nuts, season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat. Transfer to the prepared pan and put in the oven for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a blender, blend the eggs and milk on low for about 30 seconds. Pour the eggs over the veggie mixture in the pan, return to the oven and bake until puffed, just set and lightly golden brown on top, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the omelet and let cool for 5 minutes on a baking rack. Transfer to a platter, slice into wedges and top with the yogurt.

FRENCH OMELET WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, water, and salt. Heat a well-seasoned (or nonstick) 8-inch skillet over high heat, about 30 seconds.
• Add the butter. It should bubble but not smoke or burn. (If it does burn, wipe out the butter and start over.) Swirl the butter around the pan and immediately pour in the eggs. When the eggs begin to turn opaque around the edges, use a heatproof plastic spatula to pull the cooked eggs away from the sides of the pan. Swirl the pan to fill in the opening with the uncooked eggs. Reduce the heat to medium low. Repeat swirling until the omelet's underside is set all around and the top is still slightly undercooked.
• Fold in one third of the omelet over, away from the handle side of the pan. Using a spatula, loosen the bottom of the omelet. Holding the pan with your palm under the handle, slide the unfolded edge onto a plate. As it slides off the edge of the pan, use the edge of the pan to help flip the 2/3 folded portion over the unfolded 1/3 portion on the plate. You'll form a roll with the seam on the bottom side. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve immediately.
