Omelette Baguettes

Omelette Baguettes

• Ready In: 11 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 6  eggs
• 4  tablespoons mixed herbs
• 50  g butter
• 3  French baguettes

Directions

1. Lightly beat the eggs with 2tbsp cold water until the yolks and whites are evenly mixed. Season and stir in the herbs.
2. Melt a third of the butter in a small nonstick omelette pan and heat until it sizzles. Swirl it round the pan, then pour in a third of the egg mixture. Cook for 1 minute or until it starts to set, then tilt the pan and lift the edges so that the runny mixture runs underneath. Continue to cook until the omelette is set but slightly creamy on top. Slide on to a plate and fold the omelette in half.
3. Cook another two omelettes in the same way.
4. Cut the baguettes in half lengthways and scoop out some of the crums (these can be frozen, ready to make breadcrums for other recipes.) Put a warm omelette in each baguette.
5. Leave to cool, then wrap the baguettes in foil to carry to the picnic. Cut in half to serve.
