Omelette aux Herbes

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Wash and dry the greens and herbs thoroughly.
  3. Save a sprig or two of the herbs for garnish.
  4. Put the rest in a food processor, and pulse until the greens and herbs are finely chopped, but not pureed.
  5. You can also mince them, and then grind them with a large pinch of salt in a mortar and pestle.
  6. The goal is to extract the juices from the greens.
  7. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with 3 tablespoons water and the teaspoon of salt.
  8. Then gently fold the greens into the eggs.
  9. The mixture should be a vivid shade of green.
  10. Heat a thin film of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over low heat.
  11. Add the beaten eggs, and cook just a minute or so, to brown the bottom a bit.
  12. Then put the pan in the oven, and cook for about 10 minutes, until set.
  13. Put a plate the size of the skillet on top of the eggs, flip, and then slide the top side onto a platter and serve, sprinkled with some more herbs; or serve the omelet straight from the pan.
