This herb omelet recipe is easy to prepare and makes a great breakfast or brunch dish. It is full of flavor from the fresh herbs and it turned out so fluffy. I did use fresh chives, parsley, thyme in this recipe. I did not have the tarragon so I used basil instead.

This made for a delicious light brunch with a salad on the side. I used two eggs and fresh herbs of parsley, garlic chives and savoury thyme and thoroughly enjoyed especially as it was so quick and easy as it needed to be a quick brunch instead of full on and relaxing. Thank you ellie, made for For Your Consideration Tag Game at FF&F.
