French omelette stuffed with cheese and herbs

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a French omelette stuffed with cheese and herbs? Prepare your food. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Take good quality cheese, without vegetable fats.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the greens, dry with paper towels and finely chop with a knife. I used dill and parsley, but basically anything will do. Take the one you like or what is available.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate the cheese on a medium grater. This way it will melt faster.

4. STEP 4

   

   Break the eggs into a deep bowl, then pour milk into them. In a French omelet, liquid is either not added at all, or a very small amount is taken, so don’t be surprised that there is very little milk. Add salt. Beat eggs with milk and salt. There is no need to achieve strong foam or volume. The goal is to mix the white and yolk well.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a frying pan over low heat, melt the butter until it spreads over the entire surface. The oil should begin to bubble. But don't burn it, the butter starts to burn quickly. To prevent this from happening, you can add a little vegetable oil along with the butter, then this will not happen.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Turning the pan in different directions, distribute the eggs evenly over the entire surface, as if you were frying pancakes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Turn the heat to medium. Once one edge of the omelette has set slightly, use a spatula to lift it up so that the liquid egg mixture flows underneath. Repeat this several times so that the omelette sets quickly on all sides. The faster the omelette is fried, the more tender it will taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   When the entire surface of the omelette has set, sprinkle one half with grated cheese. Fry the omelet for another 20 seconds.

9. STEP 9

   

   Then use a spatula to fold the omelet in half. Turn off the heat and leave the omelet in the cooling pan for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

10. STEP 10

    

    Then carefully transfer the omelette to a plate and sprinkle chopped herbs on top. Serve it immediately - the omelette is good when hot, as long as the cheese remains soft and viscous. Bon appetit!

We always eat egg dishes for breakfast. Today I made a French omelette stuffed with cheese and herbs. I scrambled homemade eggs with salt and milk with a fork. Melt the butter in a frying pan. Pour in the egg and milk mixture and cook over low heat, covered, for a couple of minutes. I tucked the omelette as recommended by the author, so that the liquid would drain and the omelette would cook faster. Then I added grated cheese and dill. I wrapped the omelette with the filling on both sides in a tube and kept it on the stove a little longer so that the cheese melted. It's simple, quick and very tasty. Wonderful recipe! The omelet turned out golden brown, filling, aromatic and beautiful. Breakfast was excellent. Many thanks to the author 😊
