The Perfect Omelette

One thing I love to do when I am watching what I am eating (more than usual), is make unique, healthy omelets. It keeps my meals interesting and keeps me from being bored of any monotonous routines. Because when a food routine gets monotonous, I start thinking about cheeseburgers. And chocolate. And cookies. And pizza. And a bagel. 

Seriously. It has to stop. 

I personally don't like going out to eat for breakfast, because I find that most breakfasts served at restaurants are crap. If you know how to make an omelet at home, why pay $20 to get someone else to make an omelet for you?   Seriously! When did breakfast get to be $20???? 

I adapted this recipe from Ina Garten, because, seriously, I get a kick out of Ina Garten. She makes me feel calm. Paula Deen makes me want to drink butter, Ina Garten makes me want to take a nap in a farmers market. I love listening to her say things in French (like when she says Endive, she says En-deeve) and talk about Jeffrey. 

I've learned a lot from Ina about the art of cooking eggs. And it is an art. Did you know that the folds in a chefs toque represent the 100 ways a chef should know how to make an egg? I'm not kidding!  100 ways! 

The key to omelet making is to keep your stove over medium-low heat and let the eggs cook slowly. Also, beat the eggs very well before putting them in a pan, allowing them to get nice and fluffy.

Herb Omelette adapted from Ina Garten 

• 1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh Italian parsley
• 1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh chervil
• 3/4 tablespoon thin sliced fresh chives
• 1 extra-large eggs
• 2 extra-large large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Pinch kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 2 ounces plain goat cheese or cream cheese 

Combine the parsley, chervil and chives in a small bowl and set aside.

Break the eggs into a small bowl, and then add the milk, 2 tablespoons Fines Herbs, salt and pepper and whisk with a fork.

Preheat an 8-inch nonstick saute pan over medium hot heat and swirl the olive oil into the pan. Pour in the egg mixture and swirl it in the pan. For a few seconds, gently stir the egg mixture with a heat resistant rubber spatula (as if you were going to make scrambled eggs) and then swirl the eggs in the pan to make a nice round appearance. Reduce the heat to avoid any color or scorching. Continue cooking for about 1 minute. The eggs will be set on the bottom, but slightly liquid on top.

Flip the omelet, and remove it from the heat. Crumble the goat  or cream cheese over the center of the omelet. Tri-fold the omelet and plate immediately.

I always say that about going out for breakfast - If I have the time to enjoy a nice breakfast, I don't like paying someone else a ton of money to make something that I could have made just as well myself at home in my pajamas.. Omelettes, however, I haven't quite been able to master yet .. Yours looks gorgeous though!

Omelettes are so easy! I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem making them. I think the trick is to cook them slowly and make sure the pan isn't too big, otherwise they will be too thin and difficult to flip the one side over the other. my fave filling is grated cheddar cheese and sauteed sliced mushroom.

This is greatness! Thank you. I've been wanting to branch out of my norm, but I wasn't sure which herbs would work. This looks so good!

If your hair falling down words as long as a wave, spray once line. But if the word or Bob, you have to hand it to dial back sense. If you are too lazy to do a hair, go out wear sunbonnet or straw hat is a good solution, and hat can avoid direct sunlight. Fashion really have the magic, it often can put serious incident of very interesting, if you don't want too exaggeration and don't want to have to most people, that is to look at both functional and is a little special effect hat it.
