How do you make your omelets?
-
It’s an omelette when it turns out right...it’s a DECONSTRUCTED omelette when things go wrong. Lol Still tastes good.
-
Yolks of farm fresh eggs are darker because the hens have been eating lots of insect's where hens at commercial egg farms eat only prepared feed. Has nothing to do with freshness.
-
Size of the pan, separate the yolks? I've had many an outstanding omelet at Army dining facilities made from two complete eggs cooked on a flat griddle. Chopped ham and cheese is my favorite.
-
You don't need clarified butter for omelettes lol
-
You do not separate your yolks from your whites, give me a break. Watch Marc Pierre White, Jacques Pepin or Ramsey the great. None of these amazing chefs cook omelets in this manner. I am a professional chef and have never heard of this garbage...
-
Just watch Jacques pepin make an omelette. No need all this nonsense of pancake batter and molecule structures
-
1:31 I think this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone actually pronounce the “l” in egg yolk
-
#1 mistake - overcooking (pretty much applies to all foods) mistake #2 - using metal utensils on your nonstick pan. Get a dedicated pan for eggs and only use a silicone spatula. Sure.. you can use chopsticks if you're thinking you need to impress everyone with how artsy fartsy you are... whatever. Everything you need to know about omelet cooking is in the Jacques Pepin vids on YT.

About the only thing i agree with in this video is the pan size and the number of eggs (3). My omelets come out perfectly every time and I don't do any of this nonsense.
-
OMG! LOL! I call BS! I've been cooking and eating eggs for at least 65 years, always scrambled together and NEVER butter! I tried separating them - could not tell an ounce of difference!!! Except that it took too much time and more dishes to wash!! Definitely not for me!
-
Thanks for your very helpful video. Regards from Australia 🤓🇦🇺

Turn in the broiler, and stick the omelet under it to melt the cheese and set the egg on top. You won't have to flip it, then, and you can make the omelet as large as you want.
-
I just made an omelette on Sunday for breakfast. The cooked egg did break when I tried to put it onto the pan, so there might have been too much in the filling. I typically use bacon, cheese, and then saute some onions until the onions are translucent.
-
Damn, these clowns can't beat an egg without a machine and 4 steps 🤣
-
"Don't overcomplicate...but also separate the whites from yolks and use clarified butter". I don't know why I clicked on this; I am an average at best home cook and omelettes are the easiest thing to make. 🤣
-
I found that the upside of working on my omelet game, was that at least ya had some good tasting scrambled eggs to eat when you messed up the omelet.
-
So, to make an omelet, you have to apply the KISS principle: Keep It Simple, Silly.
-
I have everything to make a great omlette except eggs and any type of fat or oil. Out of butter and oil but have eggs in milk jugs already beaten but real eggs, they have a CRAZY long shelf life in the fridge and get them from my local food shelf. So glad for them, my state has been funding and helping food banks and shelves like crazy since covid in my state. So helpful.
-
Its sad that there are so many different comments disagreeing with different points-- All of theses are different ways to make an omelet-- I am looking forward to adding pancake batter in my next one. My ONLY complaint is that I love omelets so much that I think the spelling of the word should have more panache..."omelette" for example. Seems more French...no ?
