Serves 1Difficulty: EasyPrep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh chevre (goat cheese)
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh herbs (like parsley, chervil, chives) + more for garnish
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Mash goat cheese with the chopped herbs in a small bowl until combined. Set it aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until they're a pale yellow hue and the egg yolks and whites are seamlessly combined. Place a serving plate nearby.
- Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it starts to foam. Add the egg mixture and, using a rubber spatula, stir continuously, making the eggs form small curds (around 2 to 3 minutes).
- Gently shake the skillet and use your trusty spatula to evenly distribute the egg mixture across the skillet. The top should have a creamy appearance. Evenly spoon the goat cheese mixture down the middle third of the egg mixture.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Fold a third of the omelet over and onto itself. Gently nudge the folded side towards the edge of the skillet. Tilt the skillet over the serving plate and roll the omelet onto the plate, seam side down.
- Garnish with extra herbs and devour it immediately!
