      The eggs and butter at the restaurant in Normandy probably taste a lot better than North American grocery store varieties.
      Anyway, 40 yrs ago, my Home Ec teacher taught this, but after pouring the egg in the pan, it was sprinkled with some toppings, like a bit of chopped ham and grated cheddar and popped into a hot oven to finish cooking.
      Years later, America’s Test Kitchen showed it as a Diner Style Omelette.
      I’m going to try this version you showed on the stove top but with minced fine herbs, (chervil, chives, dill) and white pepper right in the egg mixture and Plugra butter instead. Just because I’m feeling fancy this weekend.
      I’m making it my own. 😉

The pancakes for soup are larger in diameter, a bit thinner, & savory. She would roll them up & slice them. Since German cooking is very regional, I'm sure you will find many variations on a theme.

    I was taught how to make this omlette by a sous-chef from Louisville's Brown Hotel, 50 +/- yrs ago. Yes, I have a copper bowl and it makes a great difference! I was taught to also broil the foamy top-- which btw makes it poof even more. Then serve with a Mornay Sauce and bits of bacon, etc., before folding.

    This is the way I learned to make omelettes when I was eight yo. Since then I have chosen to add a tablespoon of orange juice to the yolks. I do use butter, and I add grated cheddar and chopped herbs, and pepper and salt halfway through cooking. Then about a minute under the grill. I fold it to serve it and it is delightfully fluffy and oozy.

  • @relaxingprawn

    I do my omelette that way, we add a combination of finely shredded corriander, the green leaves from tender spring onions and occasionally very small amounts of finely grated cheese. Add a few ml of water to the sides of the pan then immediately cover for a few minutes. The steam in the pan will distribute the heat evenly and also make the omelette rise. Don't overcook it, and you will love the final product.

    Interesting method to be sure. I’d incorporate fresh herbs, salt and pepper into the eggs just before pouring it into the pan so the salt brings out the flavour of the eggs and the herbs eliminate the obvious blandness you mention.
    Next try Jacques Pepin’s omelet. It was great watching Alex the French Guy attempting it.

      as cheap as eggs are I think anytime you're eating straight eggs (as opposed to a stir fry or baking where eggs are a secondary ingredient) you should spring for medium or high quality eggs. Where I live good quality eggs are only a few dollars more a dozen then the cheap walmart eggs.

    I made an omelette from an old old cooking school cookbook and they did that to the eggs too. I ended up with the lightest omelette I had ever made. I only did it the once but it was very good but took forever to make and had to be cooked in the oven at the end. I've been wanting a copper beating bowl forever. $30-$200 is a bit out of my range, darnit.

    This is another one I cook for my kids - except different - We get the same results cracking whites and yolks together and whisking until foamy. Skip the separation step, I think you'll find it to be the same like we do. It's like 2 to 3 times the size of normal scrambled eggs and goes by the name "fluffy eggs" to the kids. Also don't have any "non-stick" pans. We cook only on buttered/oiled/tallowed Erie, Griswold, or Wagner cast iron; which for the most part is just as good, just don't try it with modern rough cast iron like Lodge.

    5:55 people are WAY to concerned about under cooked eggs in my opinion. If your using super cheap eggs or you live in an area with poor quality control that could be a concern but I've eaten under cooked eggs several times a week every week of my life and I cant think of a single time i got sick. I have my own chickens and half the time i dont bother washing the eggs, i just scrub any dirt or poop off and i normally eat them as runny scrambled eggs or over easy eggs. I had stage 3 cancer and during the 5 years of off and on chemo and radiation treatments i was told even a minor infection or mild food poisoning could kill me, but i still never got sick off my eggs. The egg shell is permeable but it's mostly one way with gas and moisture escaping, and those microscopic holes do widen over time making them more likely to have germs penetrate the shell, but the shell is designed to prevent that since that would kill the baby chick inside (if it were fertilized) so infections into the egg are rare. From what I've read usually the cause of infection is sick chickens but that's becoming increasingly rare since most developed countries with large scale farms keep their chickens in fairly hygienic environments (even if battery cages are cruel, they are clean) and they either vaccinate their chickens (most common in Europe and parts of Asia) or give them antibiotics (more common in North America), but in small scale farms disease is less common without either treatment since the chickens are free range and in smaller numbers so contagious disease rarely spread to their flocks and even i they often do preventative care with things like garlic supplements that reduce infections by a surprisingly large number nearly comparable to preventative antibiotics.

He'd spend the modern equivalent of $200-$250 (just for the sandwhich) and it supposedly had over 8000 calories.
      It's probably a good thing I'm not rich and famous because this is exactly the sort of thing I'd do and I'd be dead in a few years (assuming i didnt burn off those calories in lay overs in Vegas or Reno)

      thats why i hate most modern ice cream, it's become so unhealthy because most modern ice creams are around 30% or more air, so to overcome the loss in flavor (cold foods are already more bland then warm ones) they dump ever increasing amounts of sugar into it.

  • @omarornhauksson8767
    @omarornhauksson8767 5 лет назад

    When adding stuff to it wouldn't you put it in the pan before you pour in the egg mixture so you keep the fluffiness on top?
    I'm not a fan of omelettes but I do scrambled eggs a certain way that is way better than what you usually get. I crack the eggs in the pan, four eggs and on a medium low heat only scramble the egg whites until they are somewhat set, then I pop the yolks and fold it together. That way you get the taste of the yolks mixed in with the whites and it doesn't become bland like most omelettes are.

    Weird. Wild. The foamy egg is amazing. My North American natural tendencies are to run from this thing because it’s undercooked but IT ISN’T. What an incredible texture. It sure puts a neat spin on an ordinary omelette. Sorry...I’m writing this as I’m eating it. Will I make it again? Yes, absolutely. Will I make it for other people? I’ll need to find the right people first. Most people I know take issue with the Gordon Ramsay scrambled eggs and THIS takes eggs to a whole new texture level.

      Would I like either? Maybe, maybe not. But if I try it and don't like it I at least have come to a conclusion with evidence in taste and mouthfeel instead of looks.

      @@MaximAvs what your describing is the path to madness. You cant achieve a perfect boiled egg no matter how hard you try, since every egg is slightly different sizes, slightly thicker shells, the water may heat at slightly different temperatures, and the yolk may shift to one side or go slightly up or down and all of those can make the yolk too hard or the whites too soft. You'll keep trying, because why not? Eggs are cheap and boiling them is easy, but they'll never become perfect. Your family will become sick of eggs, everything in your house will start to smell faintly of eggs as the fumes permeate their clothes, the carpet, and the furniture, your garage disposal will clog with the shells and eventually your cans will become stinky with the mountain of shells.
      The perfect egg will continue to elude you.
      You'll become more and more fanatic since why would it be so hard? _It's just a boiled egg?_ You'll neglected your friends, your family will grow tired of your egg madness, your digestive system will rebel from the constant barrage of eggs, even strangers will start to avoid you due to your constant eggy sweat and sulfurous farts, the employees of the local store will look at you in fear as you return at faster and faster intervals to buy more and more eggs.
