Omelette with Blue Cheese, Herbs, and Spring Onions
This flavorful omelette combines the rich, tangy taste of blue cheese with the freshness of herbs and the mild bite of spring onions. It’s a quick and easy meal, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch!
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream (optional for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or dill), chopped
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk or cream (if using) and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Crumble the blue cheese and chop the herbs. Thinly slice the spring onions and set aside.
- Cook the Omelette:
- Heat the butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
- Add the Filling:
- Sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese, chopped herbs, and sliced spring onions evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Let the omelette cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Fold and Serve:
- Carefully fold the omelette in half over the filling. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the blue cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips and Variations
- Herb Options: Use any fresh herbs you have on hand, like thyme, tarragon, or basil, to customize the flavor.
- Add Veggies: For added texture and flavor, sauté some spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers before adding the egg mixture.
- Cheese Variation: Swap out the blue cheese for feta or goat cheese for a milder taste.
This omelette is a rich, flavorful, and satisfying meal that’s perfect for a quick yet gourmet bite!
