Herbed Cream Cheese Omelet Recipes

FINES HERBES OMELET

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.

HERBED GRUYèRE OMELETS

Steps:

• Whisk 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon chives, 1 teaspoon tarragon and 1 teaspoon parsley in bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Preheat broiler. Melt 1 teaspoon butter in 8- to 9-inch-diameter nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir until eggs begin to set, lifting edge of omelet with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until omelet is softly set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle packed 1/3 cup cheese down center of omelet. Roll up omelet; place in broilerproof baking dish large enough to hold 2 omelets. Repeat with remaining eggs, herbs, butter and 1/3 cup cheese to form second omelet. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 cup cheese over omelets.
• Broil omelets until cheese is bubbling and slightly brown, about 2 minutes.

CREAM CHEESE & CHIVE OMELET

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Whisk the eggs, chives, water, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges)., As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked portion flow underneath. When the eggs are set, sprinkle cream cheese on one side; fold other side over filling. Slide omelet onto a plate; cut in half. Serve with salsa.

CHEESE OMELETTE WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Combine eggs, milk, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chervil, Italian herbs, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix with a fork.
• Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture. Cook until egg starts to set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with dried basil and lay sliced Gouda cheese on top. Cut into 2 halves using a spatula. Fold each omelette in half and turn over. Cook for another minute. Serve garnished with fresh basil.

OVERSTUFFED HERB OMELET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat oil in an 8-inch oven-safe skillet. Add leeks; cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in pepper, cumin, turmeric, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in baking powder and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt until combined. Fold in leek mixture, parsley, cilantro, dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
• Add butter to the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Heat until melted, about 3 minutes.
• Remove skillet and swirl so butter evenly coats it. Add egg mixture. (Do not stir.)
• Return to the oven and bake until edges are set and middle is still slightly moist, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Let cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before cutting into 8 slices.

FRESH HERBS OMELET

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.
