  • Add eggs, water, salt, and herbs to blender and combine on high for 5 to 10 seconds.
  • Heat a 10-inch non-stick aluminum pan over medium-high heat. Once pan is hot, add 1 teaspoon butter and brush around surface of pan. Using a 4 1/2-ounce ladle, place 1 scoop of egg mixture into center of pan and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula for 5 seconds.
  • As soon as the egg begins to form a semi-solid mass, lift the pan and tilt in a clockwise motion until the excess liquid pours off into the pan. Use your spatula to shape the mixture into a round and losen the edge. Let sit for 10 seconds without touching. Place 1/4 cup of filling onto two-thirds of the surface of the omelet.
