Fines Herbs Omelette image

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.
  • 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.

OMELET WITH FINES HERBES



Omelet with Fines Herbes image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 20m

Yield 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
1 teaspoon tepid water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Hot sauce, to taste
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped parsley leaves
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped tarragon leaves
Buttered toast slices

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You dont want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy. Put the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then, allow the eggs to cook, undisturbed for about 15 to 30 seconds. Sprinkle the herbs over the eggs.
  • Lift the handle of the pan up tilting the pan away from you and towards the heat. This tilting should cause the omelet to slide down in the pan a little. Fold the edge closest to you towards the center. Fold the other edge towards the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands, seam side down. Serve immediately with buttered toast slices.

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.

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 GRUYèRE OMELETS



Herbed Gruyère Omelets image

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 large eggs
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons butter
1 cup (packed) grated Gruyère cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Whisk 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon chives, 1 teaspoon tarragon and 1 teaspoon parsley in bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat broiler. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in 8- to 9-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir until eggs begin to set, lifting edge of omelet with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until omelet is softly set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle packed 1/3 cup cheese down center of omelet. Roll up omelet; place in broilerproof baking dish large enough to hold 2 omelets. Repeat with remaining eggs, herbs, butter and 1/3 cup cheese to form second omelet. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup cheese over omelets.
  • Broil omelets until cheese is bubbling and slightly brown, about 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs, or the omelet will be tough.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat so that it cooks evenly.
  • Be patient when flipping the omelet. It's better to let it cook for a few seconds longer than to risk breaking it.
  • Don't overstuff the omelet, or it will be difficult to fold.
  • Serve the omelet immediately, garnished with fresh herbs and grated cheese.

Conclusion:

Herb Gruyere omelets are a delicious and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect omelets every time.
