Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or tarragon)
• 0 nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add water, salt, and pepper. Beat the mixture with a fork or whisk until the eggs are well combined and frothy.

Step 2

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly coat the skillet with nonstick cooking spray and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a circular motion, avoiding breaking them into pieces, until they just begin to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Stop stirring and allow the eggs to settle into a smooth layer across the skillet. Ensure the eggs are still soft and slightly undercooked in the center.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chopped fresh herbs evenly across the top of the omelette.

Step 6

Tilt the skillet away from you at a slight angle. Using the spatula, fold one side of the omelette over the center to create a semicircle shape.

Step 7

Slide the omelette onto a plate, folding it over again if necessary to achieve a classic French omelette shape.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
