Fines Herbes Omelet image

A proper French omelet is all about (you guessed it) technique. Luckily, Jacques Pépin is the master. Note that Mr. Pépin cracks eggs on his cutting board, not against the rim of the mixing bowl. (This prevents any bacteria on the surface of the shells from getting into the bowl.) In the pan, Mr. Pépin maintains a kind of Tilt-a-Whirl shaking and spinning and scraping of the pan, keeping the eggs constantly in motion.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 large eggs, preferably organic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup loosely packed chopped fresh herbs (1/4 cup parsley, and 1/4 cup combined tarragon, chives and chervil)
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Using a fork, beat the eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the herbs.
  • Heat half the oil and butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil and butter are hot, add half the egg mixture. Stir continuously with a fork, shaking the pan, for about 2 minutes to create the smallest-possible curds. When most of the egg is solid, cook it without stirring for 10 seconds to create a thin skin on the underside.
  • Roll the omelet by folding over one side and then the opposite site, and invert it onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second omelet. Cut each omelet in half.

This omelet was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time. Otherwise, it was a good omelet.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my omelet turned out rubbery. I think I overcooked it. I will definitely try again.

I'm not a big fan of omelets, but this one was really good. The fines herbes gave it a nice flavor and the cheese was melted and gooey. I would definitely make this again.
