Ingredients

• 3 pieces eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 cups edible flowers (e.g., nasturtiums, pansies, or calendulas)
• 0.25 cups shredded cheese (optional, e.g., cheddar or Gruyère)
• 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or chives, finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the edible flowers gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Remove any stems or green parts, leaving only the delicate petals.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt the butter, tilting the pan to coat the surface evenly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 5

Sprinkle the edible flowers, shredded cheese (if using), and fresh herbs evenly over one half of the omelet.

Step 6

Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the flower-topped side. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully set but still tender.

Step 7

Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately, garnished with a few extra edible flowers and herbs if desired.
