How to Make Omelets Like a Pro
Rolling sunny, tender eggs around a tidy filling doesn’t require much more skill or time than a hearty scramble—but the result is much more polished and satisfying.

I already knew all this
I mean yes. Buttttt, I’m not doing that. 7’s taste fine to me
Chef, it was wonderful. God bless you.
I love how the sheep in the background are all wearing masks,,, but these 2 bafoons are virus free.
I'm a pretty experienced home cook, my omelets come out good but inconsistent, I tried this method 3 times now, consistent and beautful and even and creamy everytime. thanks!
How one can make a so simple dish to the complicated math problem😂😂😂😂😂
looks dry to me…
Lan is great 👍
But non-stick with Teflon is toxic, I heard.
Julia Child is rolling in her grave. RIP, Julia. To see true omelette mastery, look up Kichi Kichi Omurice.
Great job Lan!
Watch Jacques Pepin
The outside is overcooked. They didn't finish with butter.
They made that more complicated than need be.
Go Lan !!! 🥚🥚🥚🥚
MAKING THE MOTHER OF ALL OMELETTES JACK
Professional chefs always make eggs in a nasty pretentious way. Why do rich people love mush?
I end up making freaking overcooked egg…..
I can make like this 😅
I make fabulous omelettes and I agree with most of this but an omelette should never stand, my family has to be sitting at the table ready to eat as it comes out of the pan
IMO your omelette looks anaemic! I fold mine in half about 30 secs before serving and add a small extra knob of butter to the hot pan tipping the pan until the butter runs underneath sizzles and makes the outside a golden colour. I then tip onto a plate with the golden side up
good idea to melt the cheese though.
a great filling is Philadelphia cheese and cooked spinach with a tiny grating of fresh nutmeg, obviously heated through before making the omelette
That’s not omelette. Cheap and easy like a wrap…Omelettes are like the Spanish Tortilla española – that’s a real omelette.
Why is the woman in blue crowding the front of the stove?
Wow. No, no, no and … no.
Parisian chefs laugh loudly at this omelette
I like the pre-melted cheese tip. Though I do love watching Jacques Pippin's technique
Excellent directions, always thought it was more difficult. Not, anyone can do this. Thanks
Trứng với mỡ ngỗng ăn vào chạy toán loạn vì mỡ ngỗng trộn đạn😅😂
Nooooo 😂. Every single thing on this recipe is wromg. Sorry 🙏🙏🙏
1. Cheese is probably satisfying but then its not anymore an omelette, sorryyyy
2. Using microwave, nooooo. You cant do that it's just a Don't!
3. The cheese is obviously dry and chewy, another don't
4. Bigest mistake is covering the pan and definitely destroy the recipe by drying the eggs. Just look at it, its so dry. Your omelette is screwed and tasteless, its obvious!
You can always tell a real cook when they treat beating eggs like Bob Ross treats paint brushes 😅
Put something in the omelet! That was weak.
