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)

Ingredients

2 serv.
  • eggs↗6
  • teaspoons water↗4
  • salt↗
  • pepper↗
  • teaspoons parsley, chopped↗2
  • teaspoons chives, chopped2
  • teaspoons tarragon, chopped2
  • teaspoons thyme, chopped↗2
  • teaspoons butter↗4
  • slices swiss cheese, torn in pieces (1/4 cup shredded cheese)↗2
  • chives, to garnish (optional)

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl whisk eggs and water together and then season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Stir in herbs (parsley - thyme or your favorites).

  3. 3

    *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.

  4. 4

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat and add the egg mixture to pan.

  5. 5

    If using cheese, add cheese on top of eggs.

  6. 6

    Let eggs set around edges and then lift edges and tilt pan, so uncooked eggs will go under the cooked eggs.

  7. 7

    Cook until eggs are almost set (1 -2 minutes) and then using a spatula, roll 1/3 of omlet to center.

  8. 8

    Tilt pan and slide omlet onto plate.

  9. 9

    Garnish with chives, if desired.
