Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt completely, coating the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute, or until the edges start to set.

Step 5

Use a silicone spatula to gently push the edges of the omelet towards the center, letting the uncooked egg flow to the bottom of the pan. Repeat this process around the pan until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly runny on top.

Step 6

Dollop the cream cheese in small spoonfuls onto one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and chives evenly over the same half.

Step 7

Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using the spatula.

Step 8

Let the omelet cook for another 1-2 minutes to warm through the filling. The bottom should be golden but not overcooked.

Step 9

Gently slide the omelet onto a serving plate, garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
