Herb and cheese omelette

A simple and tasty meal.

What you need

2 tsp finely chopped fresh chervil
2 tsp finely chopped fresh chives
1 tsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 tsp finely chopped fresh sage, use young leaves
1/2 tsp chopped fresh lemon thyme or ordinary fresh lemon thyme
4-5 medium eggs
50 g cream cheese
seasoning
6 tsp water
10 g butter

Method

  1. Blend the herbs together with the cream cheese.

  2. Beat the eggs lightly. Add the seasoning and water.

  3. Heat the butter in an omelette pan. Pour in the eggs and leave for a very short time to set on the base.

  4. Tilt the pan, lifting the cooked edges, so the liquid egg runs underneath. When nearly set, spoon the cheese and herb mixture over the omelette and complete the cooking.

  5. When cooked to personal taste, fold or roll the omelette away from the handle and tip onto a warm plate.

Classic recipe
Adapted to use cheddar and less herbs - tasted great! by Suna Jones on 23 May 2009 with rating 5.0
I adapted this as I didn't have all the herbs or any cream cheese at home - but was great with just tarragon and chives and I used a grated strong vintage cheddar for lots of flavour. Add a touch of dry mustard to bring out the cheesy flavour. The result was scrumptious.
