Chevre and Fresh Herb Omelet
Total time: 10 minutes
This is a first course omelet - 2 eggs, some fresh herbs and a bit of cheese. For a light lunch or supper use 3 eggs, a bit more cheese, maybe some ham or tuna and serve with a salad or some crusty bread. Use a proper, aged goat cheese: log-shaped (long, round) with a thin rind that is an edible part of the cheese.
Ingredients:
- 2oz (60gr) goat cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 tbs chopped fresh tarragon

1 tbs snipped fresh chives
-
1 tbs chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tsp butter
Instructions:
- Thinly slice (1/4" thick, .65cm) or crumble goat cheese.
- With scissors snip herbs, divide in 2 and set aside.
- In a medium bowl beat 2 eggs well with a wire whisk.
- Heat an 8 inch nonstick skillet or omelet pan over medium-high heat.
- Add half of the butter. When melted add eggs and swirl around to cover bottom of pan.
- Sprinkle with half of the herbs (and a little salt and pepper if you like).
- When the eggs are almost set lay goat cheese rounds on 1/2 of omelet and with a spatula turn other half on top.
- Leave in the pan another 20 - 30 seconds to finish cooking and remove to plate.
- Can be put into 250F (125C) oven to keep warm while you make the other omelet
- Repeat for second omelet.
