Perfect. A lifetimes worth of skill. May you live as long as you want to, Jacques.

There are people that come into your life in the most unexpected and meaningful ways - Jacque is that person. As a child I was entranced by Julia Child's presence in the media as an eccentric personality who brought classic cooking techniques to the world via her own experiences while living in France. Watching her cook brought a new dimension into my life and opened my world to cooking as an artist- enter Jacque Pepin - here was a person that I could readily relate to, both as an admirer of Julia and as an adult who cooks for a living - and I've been a fan all of my life. Forty years later, I became a professional chef and the journey started with Jacque. His style, demeanor, enthusiasm and skill enthralled me as well as his casual delivery - you can do this, it's not really as hard as it looks, like anything it takes practice and repetition with a dash of passion. This person changed my life and I consider him one of the greatest influences for me as a chef and a person and a connoisseur of all things wonderful - thank you Monsieur Pepin, for everything - merci

I could watch (and listen!) to the Chef all day long. He is poetry in motion.

I just did it his way. I’ll never do an omelette any different way. It was simple and yum times a 100!

Which way? Country or classic style?

Never tire of watching this. So wish all of this techniques series was available. It was sooooo good.

Over quarantine I've gotten good at this. I've learned that butter will brown if you melt it at 400F or higher, so I have a laser thermometer and get my cheap nonstick pan to 385F. Butter goes in and boils off and gets foamy. Once there's no more water in the butter the eggs go in. The eggs need to be mixed very well by hand with a fork-- not with a machine or a whisk because you don't want air in them; it makes a big difference in how they behave when cooking and how they turn out. You don't really need to add milk or water to the eggs. I salt the mixture lightly because it's not in it long enough to make a difference. I use a rubber spatula to figure 8 in the center to open up space for the eggs to run into, and once or twice run it around the edge and fold the thin edge into the middle of the mix. As Jacques does here, you need to keep the pan moving the whole time, constantly shaking it so that the wet eggs on top are encouraged to run into the spaces made by the spatula and also to get them out to the edges of the pan to cook there. When the eggs are not wet enough on top to run anywhere, it's done. Anticipating the right moment to stop scraping down the sides and making holes in the middle is the difference between making an omelette and making scrambled eggs. If you wait too long it the curds will get too firm and the whole thing won't come back to omelette shape. So when the moment is right, and it's still wet on top but won't really run, you remove the pan from the heat and plate it like Jacques. It all doesn't take very long; it's about as quick as he does it here-- about 30-45 seconds. Gruyere is a good cheese if you want to add that; or also Boursin, which is a popular French garlic-y cream cheese sort of thing.

I love Jacques, and I love watching him work. A great chef, and a gentleman.

I remember the first time I saw this video and immediately went and made the country style omelette, my life has been that much more awesome ever since.

You also need a new teflon pan for every classic french omelets. How can you not love this chef?

My mouth is still wide open as to how easily he made them. His techniques will become mine. He’s the Master!

In 1980 I had my first French cheese omelette while I was living in Morocco and I learned to have it with Dijon mustard. They are the best.

This is the mastery of culinary art and science.

Jacques takes the most humble and mundane and makes of it a magic trick. I've watched this preparation of a classic french omelette and each time I am amazed by the execution.

Jacques: “Scrape edges with your knife” Me: “Monsieur that is a fo....” Jacques: “Stir with your knife as fast as you can.” Me: “Its a knife.”

Never thought I’d find so much joy out of someone cooking omelettes

I've watched Jacques for years. The absolute best cook and teacher I've had the privilege of watching.

Hats off chef. It's not every day you can say you learnt something. Thank you.

I tried the classic french one, following the video... It was like 45% success and still the best omelet I have ever made..

I probably made 200 omelletes since watching this video and I still can't get it that perfect. Best omelletes I've ever had in my life by a long shot. You also have got to try Heston Blumenthal's scrambled eggs, they are heaven

I absolutely adore Jacques Pepin, since I got my first book of his at a thrift store in England in 1982. His luxurious practicality is so French & ideal!

lahel Cathartes Aura You might also like to watch the wonderful Raymond Blanc, his passion is immense, his humour makes me laugh and he lifts my heart with his artistic perfection.

My wife and I both learned to cook perfect French omelets from the video. Easy as can be once you get the technique down. I have surprised several people with this.

He scratched that pan up so much I thought he was signalling to us that he was being held at gunpoint.

Thank you, Chef Pépin! I'm growing my own fines herbes, this year. The pot with chives has been around for five years but now I have chervil, flat parsley and a very slow-growing tarragon as well.

Perfectly explained. Great job, Master Chef Pépin!

I have never been able to cook an omelet like this, but I revisit this page just in case some magical ability is transferred from the video.

he is using an anodized aluminum pan which is safe to scrape with metal objects unlike commercial non stick pans such as tefal ones

NO. It is NOT an anodized aluminum pan. You can see the shiny bottom when he tips the pan to slide the omelette out. Also, anodized aluminum is very much NOT non-stick.

@@AfrewSpines it's the fumes from burning teflon that are cancerous if i recall. You'd have to get them up to 500 degrees for that though. Other non stick pans are fine. Teflon pans are illegal to make, nowadays

@Biff LeGrosBoeuf It is a non-stick.

Just tried it and it was delicious. I added Champignons de Paris and persil herbs. I totally screwed the final presentation so I have to practise that part, but the taste was there it was divine.

I LOVE watching Monsiuer Pepin create the classic French Omelette!!❤

What a great teacher he is! Love Jacque!
