## Ingredients

- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fines herbes mixture (parsley, chervil, tarragon and chives)
- 1 dash salt
- 1 dash freshly ground black pepper

## Instructions

1. Beat the eggs with salt, pepper and herbs in a bowl with a fork until well-combined.
2. Melt the butter over high heat in an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Swirl the butter in the pan and when it is foaming, add the eggs.
3. Holding the fork flat, stir the eggs as fast as you can while shaking the pan with your other hand.
4. Continue without stopping to shake and stir at the same time so the eggs coagulate uniformly.
5. Incline your pan forward so most of the eggs gather toward the far end of the pan as they set. Now stop stirring while the eggs are still moist in the center.
6. Using your fork, bring the thin lip of the omelet over toward the center of the omelet.
7. Fold the far lip back toward the center of the omelet, meeting the other lip.
8. Press with the flat of the fork to make sure the omelet comes to a point at each end.
9. While holding the serving plate in your left hand, first bang the far end of the pan gently so the omelet pulls together against the edge of the pan. Then invert the omelet onto the plate and serve immediately.
