French Food Friday - French Omlette

 

Normally it is French Boyfriend that makes omlettes but I am in the mood to make one for my lunch today. 

It will be a rolled omlette and I smeak in a couple of tablespoons of grated cheese, I am not supposed to have cheese but I am finding that a couple of tablespoons does not appear to cause a problem. I like this recipe this recipe as it is simple and quick.

French Omlette 

• Ingredients
• 3 large eggs
• Dash salt and ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped herbs (1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley and 1 tbsp. finely chopped mixture of chervil, tarragon, and chives is the classic combo.)
• 1-1/2 tsp. unsalted butter

Directions

• 
  

• Using a fork, beat the eggs with the salt, pepper, and herbs in a bowl.

  Melt the butter in a 6-8″ nonstick skillet. When foaming, add the eggs. Holding your fork flat, stir the eggs quickly while shaking the pan back and forth. Continue so the eggs coagulate uniformly.

  When eggs are lightly set but moist, incline your pan forward so most of the eggs gather at the far end of the pan. Stop stirring. The mass of eggs should thin out around the edges at the near end. Using your fork, fold this thin edge toward the center of the omelet, enclosing the thick, moist center.

  Press the fold into place, creating a rounded edge. Run your fork between the edge of the pan and the far edge of the omelet to loosen. Using the palm of one hand, tap the handle gently where it joins the pan, to shake the omelet and make it twist and lift onto itself, so the lip rises above the edge of the pan. Fold this lip back toward the center of the omelet, meeting and overlapping the edge of the other lip. Press with the flat of the fork to shape the omelet into a point at each end.

  Holding your serving plate, bang the underside of the pan against the counter at the omelet end, so the omelet moves against the edge of the pan. Invert the omelet onto a plate. Press with the flat of the fork to shape the omelet into a point at each end.
