Organic sourcing
Eggs are priority for organic sourcing due to potential residues in conventional eggs. Fresh herbs like chives and parsley also benefit from organic as they're often high-residue crops.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp chopped tarragon
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Whisk until smooth with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tbsp butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foamy.
- Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
- Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, pulling the cooked edges toward the center.
- Sprinkle the fresh herbs evenly over the eggs as they are about halfway set.
- Tilt the pan to spread uncooked eggs to the edges, then stop stirring to allow the remainder to set.
- Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on the surface, fold it in half.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, seam side down, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Use a non-stick pan for ease and cleanup.
- Herbs can be adjusted to suit preference; dill works well too.
