- $4.93
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 bunch green onions / scallions
- 1/4 oz fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Method
Chop the parsley, scallion greens, and thyme leaves together very finely.
Beat two eggs at a time with a pinch of salt and pepper until completely uniform with no streaks of white.
Melt a tablespoon and a half of butter in a small nonstick pan over medium-low. It should foam but never brown.
Pour in the eggs and stir constantly with a fork for 30 seconds, then stop and let the base set for another 30.
Scatter herbs over, tilt the pan, and roll the omelet onto itself and out onto a plate. The center should stay just soft.
Repeat three more times, wiping the pan between each.
