Provided by Ina Garten

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh Italian parsley
1/2 tablespoon medium chopped fresh chervil
3/4 tablespoon thin sliced fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon thin sliced fresh tarragon
2 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
Pinch kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 ounces plain goat cheese
2 ounces roasted red peppers, julienned

Steps:

  • To make the Fines Herbs, combine the parsley, chervil, chives and tarragon 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 cheese over the center of the omelet and top it off with the roasted peppers. Tri-fold the omelet and plate immediately.

FRENCH OMELETTE WITH FINES HERBES RECIPE



French Omelette With Fines Herbes Recipe image

A classic French omelette has a smooth, silky exterior with little to no browning that cradles a tender, moist, soft-scrambled interior. The technique for making one is something every cook should learn-as long as you know these key steps, it's easy. This version is flavored with minced fresh herbs, like parsley, chives, and tarragon.

Time 5m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large eggs
Large pinch minced delicate fresh herbs (about 1 tablespoon; 2g), such as some combination of parsley, tarragon, chives, and chervil
Kosher salt and freshly ground white or black pepper
1 tablespoon (15g) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a disposable plastic or reusable wooden fork just until last traces of white are mixed in; mix in herbs and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a perfectly unscratched 8-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter, swirling over moderate heat, until fully melted and foamy but not browned. Add eggs and stir rapidly with fork, tines up, while shaking pan to agitate eggs; make sure to move fork all around pan to break up curds and scrape them from bottom of skillet as they form. Stop stirring as soon as eggs are very softly scrambled and creamy (but still loose enough to come together into a single mass), 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Using fork, gently spread egg in an even layer around skillet and scrape down any wispy bits around the edges. The top surface should be loose and creamy, but if it looks too liquid and raw, cook undisturbed for another few seconds. (If it still flows, you can swirl skillet to send loose egg to the edges, where it will set more quickly.)
  • Remove from heat, tilt skillet up by its handle, and, using fork, gently roll omelette down over itself until it is nearly folded in half. Using fork, push omelette to edge of skillet so that lower edge of egg begins to just barely overhang; use fork to fold overhanging edge of egg up, closing the omelette.
  • Hold skillet right over plate and turn omelette out onto it. It should be almond- or cigar-shaped, with the seam on bottom; if it's not, lay a clean kitchen towel over it and use your hands to adjust its shape and position, then remove towel. Serve. (To make another omelette, wipe any eggy bits out of skillet and repeat.)

FINES HERBES OMELET



Fines Herbes Omelet image

A proper French omelet is all about (you guessed it) technique. Luckily, Jacques Pépin is the master. Note that Mr. Pépin cracks eggs on his cutting board, not against the rim of the mixing bowl. (This prevents any bacteria on the surface of the shells from getting into the bowl.) In the pan, Mr. Pépin maintains a kind of Tilt-a-Whirl shaking and spinning and scraping of the pan, keeping the eggs constantly in motion.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 large eggs, preferably organic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh herbs (1/4 cup parsley, and 1/4 cup combined tarragon, chives and chervil)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Using a fork, beat the eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the herbs.
  • Heat half the oil and butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil and butter are hot, add half the egg mixture. Stir continuously with a fork, shaking the pan, for about 2 minutes to create the smallest-possible curds. When most of the egg is solid, cook it without stirring for 10 seconds to create a thin skin on the underside.
  • Roll the omelet by folding over one side and then the opposite site, and invert it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second omelet. Cut each omelet in half.

FRESH HERBS OMELET



Fresh Herbs Omelet image

This is called a "fines herbes" omelet in France, and usually contains finely minced parsley and chives, sometimes tarragon or chervil as well. The herbs should be sweet ones rather than bitter or sharp; basil, mint, and dill would also work. This is a classic French rolled omelet, served hot, right out of the pan, an utterly satisfying quick meal. The classic French omelet is made with butter, but in the Mediterranean a healthier version is made with olive oil. Use a nonstick pan for this.

Time 10m

Yield 2 rolled omelets, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 large or extra-large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk
3 tablespoons minced chopped herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, chervil, basil, mint (use no more than 3)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt), and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs and herbs, and serve.

OMELET WITH FINES HERBES



Omelet with Fines Herbes image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 20m

Yield 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 eggs, lightly beaten, room temperature
1 teaspoon tepid water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Hot sauce, to taste
Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped parsley leaves
1 small bunch chives, minced
1 tablespoon washed, dried and chopped tarragon leaves
Buttered toast slices

Steps:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, a couple of dashes of hot sauce and a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Whisk only enough to integrate the eggs. You dont want to whip too much air into them or make them frothy. Put the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the butter around as it melts so it coats the whole surface of the pan. When the butter is melted (but not browned), lower the heat and pour in the egg mixture. Use a fork to stir the eggs slightly, as if you were scrambling them. Then, allow the eggs to cook, undisturbed for about 15 to 30 seconds. Sprinkle the herbs over the eggs.
  • Lift the handle of the pan up tilting the pan away from you and towards the heat. This tilting should cause the omelet to slide down in the pan a little. Fold the edge closest to you towards the center. Fold the other edge towards the center and tilt the pan over the center of a plate so it lands, seam side down. Serve immediately with buttered toast slices.

EGG WHITE OMELET WITH FINES HERBES



Egg White Omelet with Fines Herbes image

Yes, This is good for you. But that's not the reason I eat it. By whipping the egg whites just until foamy, the resulting omelet is light and delicious. (Unwhisked egg whites get rubbery.) Unlike regular omelets, which shouldn't color, this one gets cooked in a blazing hot pan until crisped and brown and the fresh herbs get sealed right into the whites. While lemon may seem an unlikely pairing for eggs, the bit of zest at the end adds a brightness perfect for the clean flavors here.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large egg whites
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh herb leaves, preferably a mix of mint, parsley, chives, and tarragon, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt
Extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon
Scotch Bonnet Hot Sauce (page 248), optional

Steps:

  • Beat the egg whites until foamy on top. Beat in half of the herbs and season with salt.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. When very hot, add the egg mixture, swirling the pan to spread it in an even, thin layer.
  • Cook until crisp and golden brown on the bottom, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the remaining herbs over, then remove from the heat and immediately use 2 spatulas to fold the omelet in half while tilting the skillet. (It's okay if the whites aren't totally set; the residual heat will cook them.)
  • Slide onto a serving plate and drizzle with a little olive oil. Grind pepper over and grate the zest of a quarter of the lemon directly over the omelet. Garnish with herbs. Cut in half to share. Serve immediately, with hot sauce, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a non-stick skillet. This will help prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking.
  • Heat the skillet over medium heat. If the skillet is too hot, the omelet will cook too quickly and brown too much. Medium heat will allow the eggs to cook evenly and gently.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh eggs, herbs, and vegetables will make a big difference in the flavor of your omelet.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make the omelet tough. Just whisk them until they are combined.
  • Cook the omelet slowly. Don't rush the cooking process. Cook the omelet over low heat until it is cooked through. This will help prevent the omelet from drying out.
  • Fold the omelet over. Once the omelet is cooked through, fold it over in half. This will help keep the eggs moist and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

Omelets are a delicious, versatile, and easy-to-make breakfast, brunch, or lunch option. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect omelet every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give an omelet a try. You won't be disappointed!
