Ingredients

  • 6 large free-range eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chervil, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • Fresh herb sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1

Crack 3 eggs per omelette into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of milk or cream, salt, and white pepper. Beat vigorously with a fork until fully combined and slightly frothy.

2

Combine all the finely chopped fresh herbs in a small bowl and divide into two portions.

3

Heat a 20cm non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl until melted and foaming but not brown.

4

Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and immediately stir rapidly with a spatula while shaking the pan, creating small curds throughout.

5

When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly wet on top, sprinkle half the herb mixture across the centre of the omelette.

6

Tilt the pan and use the spatula to fold one-third of the omelette over the herbs, then slide onto a warm plate while folding the remaining third underneath to create a classic tri-fold shape.

7

Repeat the process with the remaining butter, eggs, and herbs for the second omelette.

8

Garnish with fresh herb sprigs and serve immediately while still creamy inside.
