I honestly would be content leaving it as properly cooked (i.e undercooked) scrambled eggs. But I like the practice of rolling these bad boys up. One of these days, I'll learn to clean up the edges...

    Impressive!

    I realized how crazy this was after I posted. 3 eggs and 2 tablespoons of butter is my definition of light.

    Healthier than a breakfast baconator I guess!

    at newyorker.com, Bill Buford wrote:A few years ago, when I was a student at l’Institut Paul Bocuse, one of the premier cooking colleges in France, I watched an omelette-making class through a glass partition. I was in a hallway, in the school’s zone culinaire, which is reserved for lessons in making food; theory courses are held on another floor, in small rooms with desks. This particular class was on French kitchen basics. I’d been exempted, on the grounds that I’d worked in restaurants. (The confidence the exemption implied in my skills would, alas, turn out to be spectacularly misplaced.)

    A student presented his omelette. The instructor poked it and shook his head. He didn’t bother to taste it; he just tipped it into the trash. An omelette must be soft in the middle, pillowy to the touch. It should have bounce. This one was hard.

    Me, I learned how to make a French omelette by watching the master, Jacques Pepin. It can be done!
    American omelettes, those I already knew how. It's great to be able to do both. Makes for a nice change.

    Buford writes well. Really enjoyed his piece on learning to bake baguettes.

    As an FYI, should anyone find themselves in Lyon, the Institut Paul Bocuse has a restaurant in the chateau that's a relative bargain. All part of the students' training and the instructors watch them like hawks.

    Scrambled eggs using recent NYT recipe/technique by Kenji. Uses potato starch, tapioca starch or cornstarch and four, that's right, four, tablespoons of butter for four eggs. I've been adding corn or potato starch to eggs for a while, helps retain moisture and, to my mind, adds a bit of lushness. But a tablespoon of butter per egg was over the top, even for me.

    Served with Morelia Grocery salsa, radishes and simple Oaxaca cheese griddled quesadillas.

    Note: Video recipe on Kenji's cooking Youtube channel
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXTnq7srJRs
    Note 2: In the video recipe Kenji used about half the recommended butter in the NYT published recipe.

    Yesterday made fried eggs using my xmas gift of a misen carbon steel pan which I've been seasoning up since then.

    Never going back to non-stick or cast iron for eggs. Managed a pan flip perfectly without breaking a yolk, a first for me. Next up: French omelet.

    HI,

    When you make your omelettes at home, how many eggs do you use?

    I find restaurant omelettes are too big. I usually make an omelette from a single egg.

    Haha. Almost always it's a nonstick Scanpan. Which size depends on how many eggs. In any case, they're not very photogenic.

    Interesting. I don't think I've ever made an omelet with just one egg, though I imagine its controllabililty is probably excellent. I generally use 3 eggs but if I'm having other food with it, I'll use 2. If I'm making it for sharing, then I'll usually use 4. Anything larger than that generally goes to Frittataville. :)

    The Peppermill in Vegas served 10-egg omelettes, but they're likely Small graded eggs. Still an enormous omelette.

    And here I was thinking you'd have some carbon steel omelette pan, imported from France. Or picked up at a Julia Child yard sell. :mrgreen:

    And just did some googling and discovered that omelet is the American spelling and omelette is the British spelling. Guess I'll have to use omelet now, since I'm not British, nor do I play one on TV.

    Was going to make a breakfast sandwich, so I decided to make a square omelet but then I changed my mind (got too lazy). Served this one with some leftover sausages from earlier in the week, and garnished it with chives and chive blossoms.

    I make a good omelette and they never stick to the pan. I never put more than three eggs in. I use a small T fal "frying pan" and it works perfectly. This is the kind you can get at Target or pick up at home goods or TJ Maxx. Never fails me.
