Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 0.5 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 5 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

Step 3

As the omelette starts to set, use a spatula to gently pull the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

Step 4

When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the chopped chives and grated cheddar cheese over one-half of the omelette.

Step 5

Using the spatula, fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the all-purpose flour to create a paste and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.

Step 7

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Finely chop the basil leaves and parsley, then stir them into the sauce. Season the sauce with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from heat and pour over the prepared omelette. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich combination of creamy sauce with the fluffy, herb-infused omelette.
