A good non stick frying pan is an essential piece of equipment for omelettes. Gone are the days of proving your pan for hours with salt and oil.

Recipe by Mark Hix

Ingredients

  • 12 medium eggs, beaten
  • 6tbs chopped soft green herbs (chervil, chives, parsley, tarragon)
  • 90 g butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Method

    Timing is essential if you are attempting to make a lot of omelettes, so keep them a little undercooked to allow for reheating.

    Season the eggs with salt and pepper and mix in the herbs. Rub a little butter into a non stick frying pan, heat gently then add a quarter of the egg mixture for one person. Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the egg begins to set. Remove the pan from the heat and slide the omelette flat onto a cold plate to prevent it cooking any longer.
