Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk well to incorporate.

Step 3

Gently fold in the chopped parsley, chives, dill, and basil, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface of the pan.

Step 5

Pour the egg and herb mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to ensure an even layer.

Step 6

Cook the omelet undisturbed for approximately 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet to check that it isn't sticking and allow any uncooked egg to flow beneath.

Step 8

Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on one half, if using.

Step 9

Carefully fold the omelet in half using the spatula and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fully set.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately for a fresh, herb-packed delight.
