How to make a classic French omelette (with cheese) - easiest way
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is my VERY UNTRADITIONAL method of making a classic French omelette. Once you get this down you'll be one step closer to making it the traditional way, but I promise most people won't be able to tell the difference. ;)
Just remember this takes practice and patience. DM me on IG if you need any other tips or want to share your progress.
Good luck guys!

I watched no less than 3 videos last night in hopes to attempt French omelettes this morning. My Antigua brother I bumped into this video by pure luck this morning. By far this is THE most helpful French omelette video I’ve seen. Bigup!

As a French who's passionate about cooking, I say well done to you, that is an interesting way to do a French omelette easily. I've tried it and found it quite easy, although it is quite important to adjust the temperature of the skillet properly.

Nice work! Jacques Pepin would give you high marks for this (I presume you've seen the Master do this.). A few observations: I noticed you used the palm side up with your left hand to gently place the finished omelet on the plate. This is the correct technique and ensures the open seam of the omelet rests on the bottom of your plate. Most novices might miss this subtle but important technique in producing the perfect shape omelet. You were using a gas cooktop, which is preferred as you can more evenly heat the pan. It is more difficult but not impossible to produce the uniform cooking of the curds with induction cooktops as the magnet is a smaller ring that pulses on/off to heat the pan. Radiant heat glass cooktops perform better than induction for this as it provides a more complete heating surface, but it still cycles on/off during the heating process. I only bring this up to make others aware of advantages/disadvantages of different heat sources when making omelets. You also mentioned low heat, while I prefer medium-high, but I think your suggestion is probably safer, although it likely takes a little longer to complete the cooking process. Then again you have more time to place your cheese on the outer end of the egg mixture without fear of burning/browning the egg surface beneath. Jacques Pepin very vigorously rocks the pan back and forth while stirring the egg mixture in a figure eight stroke using a metal fork on a non-stick pan. I wince when I see the metal fork (bottom side of the tongs) rapidly whisk through the eggs. As Superman used to say: "Don't try this at home kids!" ;-) For us mere mortals a plastic fork as you show or a stiff spatula is preferred. I'm pleased you pointed out the value of a quality non-stick omelet pan (10"). I use a Le Creuset non-stick heavy bottom 10" omelet pan, and rarely use it for anything else but making omelets. I'm sure there are other high quality non-stick brands that work well too, but I've tried others and the experience is really frustrating-in the trash these go! On the cheese, I found that placing the cheese strips as shown in your video in the microwave for about 10 seconds on a paper towel softens these so when the strips are placed in the still open omelet, these melt perfectly into the egg mixture without risking the dreaded browning of the egg surface. If you have a gas cooktop you can bang the far edge opposite the handle onto the cooktop to release the flap and then flip it over to close the omelet. But I would never do this on a induction or radiant heat glass cooktops. Your technique is much preferred with these heat sources. Lastly, butter! It's essential as you point out, and rubbing some over the cooked omelet gives that glistened appearance as finishing touch. Again, nice work on the omelet. These are not easy and require lots of practice, but the end result is heavenly.

Thank you for such a detailed comment and your insight as well. I think all of us definitely benefited/learned something from it in some way. I definitely don't know how the prominent pros do it with metal forks in non-stick. I assume they have some super pro-grade non-stick that I can't afford or they can afford to just replace pans monthly, lol. For us normal folks, a wooden fork, chopsticks, spatula, silicone whisk, etc. works. I just figured everyone at least has a plastic fork laying around and it's the most accessible thing.

Oh yeah. Definitely possible. HOWEVER you need to make sure it's properly seasoned and I'd probably use a little more butter just to be on the safe side. Cast iron is definitely more tricky to work with for a French omelette but possible. Just keep the heat low and take your time. Good luck! :)

Hey im french and ive never seen an "omelette" like this. It looks like the one in japan to be honest. Most of our omelettes are flat and we can incorporate things. most common are omelette de pomme de terre (potato omelette), onions one, cheese one .. Maybe its not from my region but yet never saw one like this in my country Its looks good tho :)

Kind of, but not really. For example, I use way less butter and the lowest heat possible.
I can't stress this enough: you'll know when you've made a perfect French omelette if you don't need to add anything to it. Like no joke just eggs. If you do just eggs, no butter, no oil, no cheese etc, and cook a perfect French, it should melt in your mouth and be super creamy. Almost decadent. It's a sensation that I've done twice due to some issues with my pan and heating

Nice! Suggest folks get a flat silicone whisk ("Walfos 11'' Wires Flat Silicone Whisk") if they are serious about perfecting this method. It's worth the effort, but you'll go through a couple dozen eggs before it starts to make sense and they really start to come together. Use a quality herbed SOFT goat cheese ("Montchevre Garlic & Herbs Goat Cheese") instead of stringy mozzarella. And don't forget the Cholula.
