Oh I think that omelette looks delicious. You can do so many things with a omelette.
ReplyDeleteThat is different! I've never seen chicken in an omelet, but I bet it's good!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about omelettes (besides the eggs) is that you can add so many things with them. This one sounds quite tasty! Happy Friday Jan.
ReplyDeleteDear Jan, I do like omelets. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI do love leeks.
ReplyDeleteI should make it, I haven't had an omelette in years
ReplyDeletewow...fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Andreja from Slovenija - Ljubljana
What I particularly like is that the omelet contains leeks—I haven't made one with chicken yet... yesterday I had a vegetable omelet.
ReplyDeleteI like yours, too, and I’ll be serving it up.
Warm regards, Viola
Sounds very yummy! I never saw that herb here, though.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I've ever had tarragon. I probably have, but I've never used it. I'll have to give it a try. Happy weekend, Jan!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good. All it takes is for me to see "leeks" in a recipe and I am all in. :)
ReplyDeleteI like eggs and awesome that you have also added quark to it too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a breakfast for dinner omelet, YUM!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and a happy weekend.
...this would be a great start to the day!
ReplyDeleteIt does look delicious, Jan.
ReplyDeleteChicken and tarragon is a lovely combination.
ReplyDeleteyummy
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteI like omelettes.
ReplyDeleteLooks good :-D
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteooooh goodness, that sounds so good. i have been cooking an egg mixed with a big scoop of mayo, blended well for one minute, it is so light and fluffy and you can add anything your heart desires to it. s & p and onion powder for sure!!
ReplyDeleteI think I am the only person that doesn't like omelets, I don't like mixing my eggs with other things I guess. I know I am weird. Wishing you a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteyummy!!!
ReplyDeleteHubby would love to take bite 🤗
ReplyDeleteGreat dear Jan 👍♥️
Me gustan las tortillas, pero esta no la he comido nunca. Besos.
