Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh chervil
3/4 tablespoon thin sliced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon thin sliced fresh tarragon
2 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Pinch kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces plain goat cheese
2 ounces roasted red peppers, julienned

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.

BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS



Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts image

I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

FINES HERBES OMELET



Fines Herbes Omelet image

A proper French omelet is all about (you guessed it) technique. Luckily, Jacques Pépin is the master. Note that Mr. Pépin cracks eggs on his cutting board, not against the rim of the mixing bowl. (This prevents any bacteria on the surface of the shells from getting into the bowl.) In the pan, Mr. Pépin maintains a kind of Tilt-a-Whirl shaking and spinning and scraping of the pan, keeping the eggs constantly in motion.

Categories     brunch, quick, main course

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 large eggs, preferably organic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh herbs (1/4 cup parsley, and 1/4 cup combined tarragon, chives and chervil)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Using a fork, beat the eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the herbs.
  • Heat half the oil and butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil and butter are hot, add half the egg mixture. Stir continuously with a fork, shaking the pan, for about 2 minutes to create the smallest-possible curds. When most of the egg is solid, cook it without stirring for 10 seconds to create a thin skin on the underside.
  • Roll the omelet by folding over one side and then the opposite site, and invert it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second omelet. Cut each omelet in half.

HERBED CREAM CHEESE OMELET



Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet image

Somehow, when cream cheese is mixed with herbs and melted in an omelet, it acquires a wonderful taste that you wouldn't associate with cream cheese.

Provided by jen

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Omelet Recipes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons butter
8 eggs

Steps:

  • Mix the cream cheese with the cilantro in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  • Heat one-quarter of the butter in a well-seasoned omelet pan or 8 inch non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot and bubbling, swirl it around in the pan.
  • Just before the butter begins to brown, beat 2 of the eggs and pour into pan. Lower the heat.
  • After 10 seconds or so, the omelet will coagulate. Push the omelet to one side of the pan with a spoon or spatula, and let the raw egg run over the cleared skillet. Repeat this one more time, then take the skillet off the heat.
  • Dab one quarter of the herbed cream cheese along the middle of the omelet from one side to the other. Season the omelet with additional salt and pepper to taste. If it has not completely set, place the pan over medium heat for a half minute longer. When the omelet is set, slide it from the pan onto a plate so that the omelet rolls up and the herbed cream cheese runs along the length of the roll. Serve it right away. Make three more omelets the same way, making sure the pan and butter get good and hot before adding the beaten eggs. Serve each one as soon as it is cooked.

FRESH HERBS OMELET



Fresh Herbs Omelet image

This is called a "fines herbes" omelet in France, and usually contains finely minced parsley and chives, sometimes tarragon or chervil as well. The herbs should be sweet ones rather than bitter or sharp; basil, mint, and dill would also work. This is a classic French rolled omelet, served hot, right out of the pan, an utterly satisfying quick meal. The classic French omelet is made with butter, but in the Mediterranean a healthier version is made with olive oil. Use a nonstick pan for this.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 10m

Yield 2 rolled omelets, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large or extra-large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
3 tablespoons minced chopped herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, chervil, basil, mint (use no more than 3)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your omelet. Using fresh eggs, herbs, and vegetables will ensure that your omelet is packed with flavor.
  • Don't overcook your eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook your eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Be generous with the herbs: Herbs add a ton of flavor to omelets. Don't be afraid to use a variety of herbs, such as parsley, chives, thyme, or basil.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent your omelet from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can grease it with a little butter or oil.
  • Cook your omelet over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent your omelet from burning. Cook your omelet until it is golden brown on the bottom and puffed up in the center.
  • Serve your omelet immediately: Omelets are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are hot and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Omelets are a quick, easy, and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. With a little practice, you can make a perfect omelet every time. So next time you're looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal, give an omelet a try.
