Step by Step Method

Step 1

Warm roasted pepper in a small pan.

Step 2

Beat the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a 7 or 8-inch nonstick or omelette pan over low heat. Melt the butter in the pan and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Pour in the egg mixture and carefully lift the edges of the omelette as the eggs begin to cook, to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath. Continue for 3 or 4 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to make sure the eggs do not stick. The eggs should be moist and soft and not browned on the bottom.

Step 4

When the eggs are almost set, add the peppers and the Herbed Cream Cheese in a strip just off center of the omelette. Fold one-third of the omelette over the filling, then fold over the other third to make a flat cigar shape.

Step 5

Turn out onto a warm plate, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

Step 6

Beat cream cheese in a bowl until softened. Beat in cream until smooth. Stir in the scallion, parsley, herbs, salt, and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until needed.

Wow - loved this! I made double for two of us. I used basil, parsley and thyme from my garden. In retrospect, should have drained the red pepper better b/c I didn't pre-warm it. Regardless, the taste was fabulous! I added a little Slap Yo Mama cajun seasoning before serving. Going into Best of 2022 file.

I made this for lunch today though I did not make the Herbed Cream Cheese as per your recipe as I had some in the fridge I made a last week and it was very similar to yours but used ricotta instead of cream cheese and when I went to fold the first fold was perfect but the second broke up on me but that did not detract from the wonderful flavours and made for a very nice lunch. Thank you ForeverMama made for For Your Consideration tag game at FF&F.
