ANTONI POROWSKI'S FRENCH OMELET WITH CHEESE AND CHIVES
There's nothing quite like a classic omelet. On Netflix's "Queer Eye," Antoni Porowski, the food-focused member of the Fab 5, teaches the people he helps make over how to nourish themselves in an accessible way. This simple but sophisticated recipe, adapted from his cookbook, "Antoni in the Kitchen," follows in that vein. It requires few ingredients and a dextrous hand: You'll want to consider your ingredients carefully, and take care to not overmix the eggs. Keep it simple, or add mix-ins. Serve it alone, or pair it, as he suggests, with a favorite salad.

Steps:
- Whisk eggs in a medium bowl until well combined and smooth, taking care not to whip in too much air. The point is to combine the yolks and whites very well.
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium-low, heat 1 tablespoon butter until the butter has melted and just begins to foam.
- Pour in the eggs. Working quickly with one hand, gently move the pan in a circular motion over the heat (this will keep the eggs moving and evenly cooking). With your other hand, use a small rubber spatula (or chopsticks) to stir the eggs in a loose figure-eight pattern, creating small curds and scraping down the side of the skillet as you go. Continue until the eggs are mostly cooked through but just a little runny on top, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle the omelet with a pinch of salt, then sprinkle the cheese down the center. Gently shake the pan so that the omelet shifts toward the side of the pan opposite the handle and up the side of the pan. The part of the omelet above the edge of the pan should fold back over on itself - use your rubber spatula to give it a hand, if it doesn't.
- Slide 1 tablespoon of butter underneath the omelet that's still in the pan. (This will help keep the omelet tender and soft - and it tastes really good.)
- Using the spatula, roll up the omelet, then flip it seam-side down onto a warm serving plate. Slide the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter across the top, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper and the chives. Serve hot.
CHEESY CHIVE OMELET
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper. Stir in chives., In a small nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edges. As eggs set, push cooked portions toward the center, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath., When eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains, sprinkle cheese on one side; fold omelet in half. Cut omelet in half; slide onto plates.

Tips and Conclusion
To make a perfect omelette with pancetta, chives, and English cheddar, follow these tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the omelette will be. Look for fresh, organic eggs, high-quality pancetta, and sharp English cheddar.
- Don't overcook the eggs. Overcooked eggs are tough and rubbery. Cook the eggs until they are just set, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Be patient. Making an omelette takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few omelettes don't turn out perfectly. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
Once you've mastered the basic technique, you can start experimenting with different variations. Try adding other ingredients to your omelette, such as vegetables, cheese, or meat. You can also change the way you cook the omelette. For example, you can cook it in a pan on the stovetop, in the oven, or even on a grill.
No matter how you make it, an omelette with pancetta, chives, and English cheddar is a delicious and satisfying meal. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
