This Herbed French Omelette transforms humble eggs into a refined centerpiece with aromatic herbs and a silky chive oil drizzle. Inspired by elegant French techniques, the omelette is creamy and tender, while the chive oil adds a burst of color and a gentle, oniony brightness. Rolling the omelette creates a beautiful layered presentation, making it as visually appealing as it is delicious. This dish is perfect for a light dinner or a luxurious brunch, and is easily scaled up for more guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add half the chopped chives and gently cook for 1-2 minutes to infuse the oil. Strain and set the chive oil aside; reserve the cooked chives.
Wipe the skillet, then add butter and melt over medium-low heat.
Add the egg mixture to the pan. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in small circles, ensuring even cooking. As curds form, smooth the surface and let the omelette set for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle parsley and reserved cooked chives over the eggs. Tilt the pan and carefully roll the omelette onto a plate, seam side down.
Drizzle with the reserved chive oil and finish with extra fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately.
