    Comparing Julia’s omelets in this episode to the ones she demonstrated in her 1980s show, you can see how she kept improving her technique. On the other hand, as ugly as the omelet is here, the basics are correct and I have no doubt it would have tasted great.

  • @lisaspikes4291
    @lisaspikes4291 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Although I appreciate a French omelette, my favorite way to make an omelette is to separate the eggs, beat the whites until they’re almost like meringue, then beat the yolks until they’re creamy, fold them together and then put them in the pan to cook.
    It’s so fluffy! Add some cheese and whatever toppings you like. Then fold it in half. You have to cook it slower than the French omelettes though. In order to let the inside cook a little.
    They make them like this at many Waffle Houses. I know, not haute cuisine, but they make a wicked omelette!

    • @Luckyladyll
      @Luckyladyll ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just turned in. To make my omelets light and fluffy, I add just a pinch of baking soda, so many different omelets, I love mushrooms,and peppers I saute an add with a white cheese. If I have left over homemade mushroom soup that has white wine added to it, I take a cup of soup, bring to a boil, an add a rue of corn starch to thicken to a sauce, and drizzle over the omelet. Soo good. Edit: Wonder what she would think of egg prices today?

    Notice that there is no browning on her omelettes. Overcooked eggs taste bad., especially overcooked brown-bottomed frittatas. Omelettes are not just scrambled eggs. Much more delicate and can be filled, as she demonstrated. I wish she had demonstrated the French traditional way of cooking scrambled eggs. They are cooked slowly on low heat or 14 or 15 minutes of constant stirring. The consistency in the end is more like a thick soup than the horrid mess of overcooked clumpy eggs we make here in the USA.

    Women have always been the best and original chefs/cooks of the world. 💯🍳🔥🥣🫕🔪🫖🍯🍾🏺The problem being, often times they have been written out of history. You never hear a guy say, "I grew up on my Dad's cooking". When I was a kid, on the rare occasion Mom was away for an entire day or more, that was a real treat as Dad would take us to McDonalds and pizza take out was also on the menu if enough meals had to be "cooked" by him.
