How to Make

  • Step 3: Stir in the flour to create a paste and cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly and season lightly.

  • Step 6: Stir herbs into the sauce and season the sauce to taste.

  • Step 8: Eggs: In medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

  • Step 9: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  • Step 10: Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, pour the egg mixture into the skillet.

  • Step 11: 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 12: 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 13: Using the spatula, fold the other half of the omelette over the filling.
