Herbed Ricotta Omelet - to try

 




1 Tbsp butter

2 large eggs

2 Tbsp cream

1/4 c ricotta 

2 Tbsp parmesan 

1/8 tsp basil

1/8 tsp oregano

Real Salt to taste


In a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat.


In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and cream.

In a separate small bowl, mix together ricotta, parmesan, basil, and oregano. 

Pour egg mixture into the heated skillet and leave it there to begin cooking through.  I tend to cover mine on and off with a large heat safe dish as need be to be sure it's cooking as well on the top as it is the bottom.

Once the egg is nearly done, salt it to taste and then place the cheese mixture on one side of the egg and fold it over to form the omelette.

Cook for another minute or two.  Serve immediately.
