Learn to make a classic French omelette from Jacques Pépin

Skip to minute 5.

In every video from Jaques Pépin, he insists no technique is better than the other, but I beg to differ.

I learned to make this at least eight years ago & I think it's debatably the most important. Cooking does not have to be complicated. A bit of technique, instinct, and patience goes a long way and that's exactly what this dish teaches. I love a simple dish that teaches a lot.

The ingredients are simple and typically in every fridge. Best with fresh eggs, French butter, and a bit of salt. Herbs if you have on hand.This technique allows for the eggs and butter to truly shine. I occasionally add chèvre if I have on hand, but trust me.. you nail this & it's already creamy and rich enough on its own.

**Really love chives on top to cut the richness & pairing w lightly dressed greens I.E. Bibb lettuce w/ olive oil, lemon, s+p
