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)"

directions

  • 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.

  1. This is my kind of recipe. I used a variety of fresh herbs and mozzarella cheese instead of swiss. Also, I opted to make 2 small omelettes. Garnished it with fresh chives as was suggested.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
