The Greatest Omelette Ever

Today is our anniversary, and we spent it together at home. Part of that maybe was playing the new Call of Duty (which I tried and was surprisingly gifted at!) and feeding our cats cheese, but I also got to make breakfast for Andy. He loves when I make him breakfast because I'm basically one of the greatest omelette makers in the world, but usually I'm off for work before he's even awake.

I can't take all the credit for my sick omelette technique though – I learned it from Jacques Pépin. I grew up on PBS thanks to my foodie/intellectual dad and we learned a lot of cooking techniques from the guy. He's brills, and I love him. Here's his epic omelette technique:



Jacques tries to be diplomatic and emphasize the equality of both the American and French style omelette, but I'm going to tell you right now that the French version is FAR superior. Do the herbs, do the shaking pan, and you'll never be able to order omelettes in a restaurant again. Seriously.
