How to Make A French Country Affair Elegant Omelette Gateau W Chive Flowers
- Prepare the Herb Garlic Cream Cheese: In a bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill), 1 clove minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until firm.
- Prepare the Omelettes: Whisk together 6 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 of the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 of the chopped vegetables (see ingredients for suggestions) and 1/4 of the chive blossoms. Gently fold the omelette in half.
- Repeat step 2 until all the egg mixture is used, creating 6-8 individual omelettes.
- Assemble the Gateau: Spread a thin layer of the chilled herb garlic cream cheese on one omelette. Top with another omelette and repeat until all the omelettes are layered.
- Garnish and Chill: Garnish the top of the gateau with shaved parmesan cheese and arrange baby salad leaves around the base. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
