[@RevanBC]

Whenever I screw up my omelette, I just pretend that I was making scrambled eggs from the start.

[@BlazeChronicGreen420]

Lord Commander a true chef will improvise. nothing went wrong until it's burnt.

[@marzmello]

Whenever I try to make an omelette and my roommate asks what am I making, I tell them eggs just so that if I do mess up they won't call me out on it.

[@pssurvivor]

And if it gets burnt you can always call it a char grill. Nothing went wrong until it's burnt to ashes :P

[@oliverd-s6495]

Lord Commander same

[@Kretain]

nono, at that stage they call it "blackened" or "charred". nothing went wrong unless someone gets poisoned. :P

[@davegill6905]

Each sentence sounds like you have a question

[@davegill6905]

Just stabbed my ears

[@araknidkid]

the 'up and down' inflection in your speech makes my head spin.

[@AmandaMitcham]

I just made this and I feel like my entire life has been a lie. It was delicious and a completely different texture to the normal American omelette. Breakfast will never be the same.

[@Shazzkid]

Would you like any egg with your butter?

[@Ethelgiggle]

Shazzkid Welcome to french cooking my friend :D

[@ytube777]

"don't buy your eggs from the same place you buy your motor oil." you're talkin' about walmart right?

[@angelbear_og]

Haha, my thought exactly

[@Than211]

I was thinking about Costco.

[@skyblueerik]

Qwik trip

[@fernando18455]

7-11

[@rajparmarman]

I get my eggs from they guy behind the exxon....

[@etherdog]

In France they only use 1 egg to make an omelette because 1 egg's an oeuf.

[@karishmababajee4165]

John G u killed me with this comment :D

[@justalurkr]

John G you may be excused

[@ninjasaurusrexatron]

can I do this without butter or eggs?

[@blakelanders6966]

yes

[@TheTheiFlo]

2 subs You are already doing it.

[@SanaSamaha]

lol

[@KaennC]

I prefer to use organic real vegan eggs.

[@shespartan]

Paul Johnson his meat

[@leekleek1]

You're the voice in my head that says "treat yourself, you deserve it"

[@JerryMarbas]

A rich decadent sautéed french butter dinner garnished with a little bit of egg.

[@makerKID5]

You forgot to butter the toast.

[@Krtkon]

i'm sure he roasted it on another tablespoon :)

[@gabrielkamkar2110]

I can't handle how this guy talks.

[@a0705925961]

I just made this for breakfast, I would say that it was the best omelette I have ever eaten! Thanks chef!

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

I had an omelette like that this morning! And I stuffed it with fried rice, sriracha and hoisin sauce. Nice thing about an omelette is you can have it on the plate in minutes and it's good any time of the day.

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

Actually you should do yerself in Tri lol. The Japanese call it "Omurice"... You know... Omelette Rice. And it is Bad Ass! But you should taste it first before you decide to do the deed. Omurice...!

[@HarperNguyen]

maskvp mGy Don't knock it, dude

[@annahasapotato]

Tri-Shake-Atops What the hell? Since when did Chef John channel attracted toxic piece of shits like you???

[@yausingchan]

Hell yeah! I put Chinese dumpling on pasta, or cooking them in pasta sauce. Turns out pretty good.

[@chinesedude001]

You know whats so great about your videos, your format, music and terrible wordplay/puns never changed its pure nostalgia of when i first watched your videos 6-7 years ago it sends me right back to my careless pre teen self

[@sudisarkaya7501]

I add finely grated cheese during the folding process, before each folding move. The cheese melts inside with the heat. Tastes great, I recommend to everyone...

[@dwaynewladyka577]

An omelette that's smooth and creamy and the extra butter makes it dreamy.

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Just tried this and it worked out great! A bit tricky to fold, but not bad. Right now, I'm the number one fan of my frying pan.

[@26muca07]

Ommelette du fromage?

[@kryskarr23]

26muca07 omeleete du formage!

[@acrovader]

Non.

[@makerKID5]

Reminds me of that episode of Dexter's Lab

[@gasp1gasp1]

oui oui

[@makerKID5]

Oui. C'est «omelette au fromage» mais, au moins, laissons-les tranquilles mdrr.

[@johnterran5295]

here's the recipe guys: 2 pounds of butter 3 eggs salt and pepper for taste thank me later

[@davidge2972]

Why this dude always asking me questions

[@samulebendali6123]

I like buying my eggs at the same place i buy motor oil.

[@AlternativeDesign100]

huh that's nothing, I don't even use butter, I actually use motor oil (0-40 in fact, only the best)...

[@519forestmonk9]

AlternativeDesign100 that's nothing. I have my hens lay their eggs right into my engine.

[@pkmnan00bis]

This is going to be really embarrassing in three years when Whole Foods steps up their game and starts selling Artisan Motor Oil.

[@paulinam1875]

Walmart?

[@cathycurry1]

519 Forestmonk 😂😂😂

[@siptang81]

"and im not sure if thats the best pairing, but i do know how to pronounce it" lol i love this guy.

[@Gasolinepenguin]

Last time I made one of these I chopped up some arugula really fine and sprinkled it on top. Would recommend.

[@jaydezifour988]

I always feel sorry for people that can't appreciate a cooked egg that's also a little runny... They think the runny part is full of salmonella

[@cosmicsweety]

Jay DeziFour I'm not worried about salmonella but the texture of runny eggs grosses me out.

[@cosmicsweety]

Jay DeziFour I'm not worried about salmonella but the texture of runny eggs grosses me out.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

It's a psychological thing. Just like the poor souls that can't stand seeing the slightest bit of pink in their meat.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

For some it's preference but for a lot they just say "ew gross" before ever trying it.

[@YummyFoodWorld]

And as always............ Great lesson Chef John.

[@xierstel5297]

That egg looks weirdly smooth.

[@BLY99]

It died on a bed of butter.

[@AlvinCornelius]

BoloYung *drowned

[@thumpertorque_]

+BoloYung That's interesting, I forgot eggs technically have lives since they become the chicken at some point (even though refrigerating and other process might interrupt that).

[@Eisofice]

Opposite Lock like most eggs, the eggs need to be fertilised to turn into chickens... egg laying is chicken ovulation and we're kinda eating the leftovers.... yup that's kinda disgusting, you really can understand vegans sometimes.

[@user-ub8hg1hu5s]

Chef John never lies. I have cooked this omelette and it is perfect! P.S. I have also sprinkled some cheese on top :)

[@Hannah-yq5di]

4:02 that joke didn't register for a few seconds or so, oh but when it did. One of those inhuman-sounding laughs happened.

[@kobiadesina2878]

Fun fact: the French word for omelette is omelette the more you know :)

[@ShrimCraft]

That's because we just took the french word and started using it in English instead of coming up with a different one.

[@blackcobra4494]

Jollivier Why come up with a new word when you can follow a foreign language down a dark alley and beat it up before going through it's pockets for spare vocabulary. English baby ;)

[@Somethingelseentirelydifferent]

Just made my first French omelette. Wow!!!

[@Trendkillertrendy]

I got up and made this right away. I absolutely butchered the presentation but it tasted damn good. This was only the second of your hundreds of recipes I've had the balls to make. The other was the soft boiled eggs. I'm getting more courageous to try more of your magic.

[@Adam-sk1vv]

Love it, Chef John. I think I'll make this on Easter. After all, I think that I am the David Arquette of my French omelette.

[@loonylunya]

When he sprinkled the cayenne at the end I was laughing so hard!! Love you chef John

[@AmbiambiSinistrous]

I'm very glad I saved this video for the morning so that I had a reason to get out of bed before noon.

[@jthanovaeater5325]

It looks too soft and delicate for a rough and tumble man like me....Will it hold up to my gritty exterior?

[@germany5678]

no.

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

I've apparently been doing this for years without even realizing it. Not exactly step for step, but basically with the same end result. I absolutely cannot stand brown spots on any form of scrambled eggs.

[@Darkreaper71]

I can smell the butter through my monitor

[@thetoiletinspector6878]

Can I use eggs that I have laid?

[@BlutigeTranen]

I never knew there was a French omelette style... I've made mine like this since 8th grade home economics! I do tend to grate in a small amount of nice, dry, mildly salty cheese before the rolling/folding.

[@civilizeddiva]

I thought this was an omelette video. It's more like sautéed butter with some egg for color video😁

[@arthas640]

I'd love to order a plate of sautéed butter with a glass of wine, but my doctor said I'm not allowed to do that anymore if I want live past 25. But hey: "live fast, die young, leave a pretty corpse" that my motto :D

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

I love when people act like they know more than the person who's gone to culinary school. lol

[@barbhayes5613]

All that butter, hmmm, just how pretty would that corpse be?

[@2CraftySeniors]

No corpse is pretty no matter how young. Body fluids tend to drain as soon as a person expires. Yeah... pretty.... ugly.

[@asterixky]

Zere is never too much butter :)

[@psycold]

Those heatproof rubber spatulas are gods in the kitchen. There's nothing better at getting every last bit of batter/egg/marinade/whatever you are making out of the bowl.

[@daveanderson4600]

Thnk you for existing & posting these. Every Sunday I make one of your recipies and now my family thinks I am a good cook, so for that - tremendous gratitude. I do tell them where I get the info, so I am not totally stealing

[@trashhumper]

No body commenting on how he emphasizes every goddamn sentence the sAme wAy

[@thewadsquad]

I like my eggs burnt 😒 my husband loves his omelettes like this! Thanks for showing me the proper way!! Butter and more butter 🎉👌🏻

[@ymb6987]

That is perfection! I am not a fan of crusty brown omelettes but this french one will make me a believer!!

[@zorlgoc224]

I followed your guide for this, It's the first thing I've ever made that you talked about on here but WOW. Incredible. Thanks so much for the video.

[@rachelnstephens]

I watched this then immediately went to the kitchen and tried it. Super easy and it came out perfect. Tastes like a dutch baby without sugar.

[@scyther1141]

That looks so freaking good Chef.

[@mckenna8663]

Whoa... thanks for the demonstration. I always thought that continuing to beat eggs made the eggs rubbery. I have never gotten them to that stage....looking GREAT!!

[@marcelomsc]

Fiz, ficou sensacional. Valeu pela dica!

[@InspectorGadget923]

Just went and made this and holy cow is it night and day to the omelettes I'm used to.

[@cookycandy4]

a part of me is screaming because i hate when my eggs are even the slightest bit runny so i often overcook them and drown them in butter, a part of me wants to try it because its so smooth, a part of me wants to hate this channel but loves it ;-;

[@tracyherwig8334]

I cannot tell a lie, not to you, Chef John...I have been known to line my pan with that no stick aluminum foil, cook my omelette and then pull up one side and roll it when it's done. Please don't disown me!! You may have inspired me, that looks REDONKULOUSLY DELICIOUS!

[@Apocalypz]

As always, love the video; as a French omelette, one should not have curds this large. Tip: Keep it moving faster faster faster and you won't need to "spread" then take it off the heat 1 min before it appeared. You will be AMAZED!

[@ooyoobbangjib]

man i had my doubts but the end result looks so creamy.. my mouth watered

[@merrygirl111]

I always enjoy your videos. You explain things clearly. I so appreciate an omelette without brown spots. Hard to find! Thanks for posting!

[@stringalongmike1953]

Thanks Chef John. Your the best! I'll try this tomorrow morning.

[@gjte2947]

Stringalong Mike same

[@lunhil1264]

I've got a special pan just for this, nobody is allowed to touch my cookware. Plain, with fresh herbs, crumbled bacon or cheese, these are the best!

[@AlabasterJazz]

I had an overcooked, golden brown, dry American style omelette this morning, and it was great! This style seems almost undercooked to me, but I'll give it a shot

[@worldhello1234]

It is not undercooked but overdelicious. The air gives the fluffy texture and of course the butter.

[@lespaul678]

"Please do not buy your eggs at the same place you buy your motor oil". LOL

[@marcpelosi380]

How dare you insult my American cheese stuffed once folded giant omelettes!!

[@eaten5pancakes43]

american cheese is shite

[@ichaukan]

It isn't cheese, that's for sure. It's okay, I'm from Wisconsin.

[@nonyobussiness3440]

ihateth4pope American cheese is awesome I hate you

[@mattecrystal6403]

great for cheeseburgers not much else.

[@fernando18455]

American on an Omelet?!? Are you crazy?

[@theintern2960]

I first learn how to make this dish from Alton Brown, and it became my favorite egg dish. Its eggciting to see it again.

[@colinwilson4658]

if you whisk the egg yolks & whites separately whisk whites to soft peaks then gently fold in whisked yolks put in a buttered oven dish for the lightest tastiest omlet ever

[@L.Scott_Music]

To borrow a phrase, "Scrambled eggs without some cheese, is like a kiss without a squeeze." But really, this looks fantastic and I'll be giving it a try. This may one up my game.

[@jojofixer]

I was really waiting for you to spoon a few tablespoons of clarified butter over everything before serving. Love your easy presentation and humor.

[@Elazul2k]

Already knew how to do the french omelette thanks to Julia Child on The French Chef all those years ago, but this was a good way to do it as well.

[@Valerie-SPTV]

Love watching Chef John "bust a move" or in this case a yolk ......... so enjoy watching you cook!!

[@BobWaters85]

Well done and with panache. Omelettes are still a phobia of mine. I'll try this method after all my Easter cooking is done.

[@karenamanda1958]

I LOLed at the "reconsidering" 😂😂😂

[@jackwilson8446]

I love eggs with my butter.

[@aakashpillai7668]

Please never stop these videos

[@ANTIMATTERLAZAR]

"some rainy weeknight" WELL DAMN IF THAT AIN'T MY EXACT SITUATION. Seriously though I just wanted another excuse to make myself an omelette for dinner

[@masterfuego]

Tried it. Eggs stuck to the pan on the fold stage. Still tasted buttery and yummy

[@franziskavonmoore13]

Every time you mention fresh eggs I mentally go "well I own chickens so that's as fresh as it's gonna get"

[@patriciafrancis9134]

Thank You I never saw eggs like this before...I can't wait to try this out

[@meganbailey6511]

You're the man. I've been trying to up my omelette game

[@indiorodriguez6668]

Thank you. I always wanted to learn how to make a French omelet and now I know.

[@NMC21887]

One of the very first things I remember watching on KZbin is Julia Child making this exact kind of omelette. She had a different way of making it but this one looks...cleaner, for a lack of better terms. I bet they're both delicious.

[@HELLENICPRIDE100]

" Please, do not buy your eggs at the same place you buy your motor oil".........ha ha ha ha ! That IS original ! Thanks for making an ordinary,cold day bright. I love a good omelette, and will try it this way.......Best Wishes, Food Wishes!

[@kimchi8022]

That looks so delicious.

[@georgethomas9436]

Again a fantastic way to make an omelet foe my girl friend.

[@Al4beef]

I took out the eggs when I saw the thumbnail. I'm ready

[@LeahLaushway]

I have never been this early to post in a comment section, ever. And YAY! I've been looking into this technique to make omurice.

[@davidsling3]

you truly have brought the fun back into cooking for me Thanks for the great vid once again

[@deduke6544]

Yum, yum, what a good looking omelette.

[@lisaboban]

Anticipating the "those eggs are raw" comments in 3....2...1....

[@taky8029]

Lisa Boban ITS FUCKING RAW

[@TheGentlemanGR]

For 27 years I didn't eat omelettes, although I love eggs, because of its taste. In the army we had "omelette in the oven" ones a week. It was awful. We used to call it SpongeBob for obvious reasons. For the last year I have been making the french omelette stuff with Feta cheese and some herbs. now is one of my best food to make and eat. Chef John is it true that you have Greek origins ?

[@Anonymoose]

LOL @ "Please do not buy your eggs at the same place you buy your motor oil." That says it all... It's always good to get re-grounded. I learned this originally from Ms. Child, but over time I tend to complicate and "Americanize" it, and I need to be reminded of the raw simplicity of the real thing. Thank you for doing that! And now, please excuse me while I head to the kitchen and make one.

[@Stephanie-id7ut]

This is great, there are so many people (and restaurants) who desperately need a course in Eggs 101, myself included lol 😂 I'm just learning that low and slow is the way to go for perfect scrambled eggs.

[@ficread5370]

The comments made me think he used a whole stick of butter or something. It's not that much butter people, you will survive if you eat it.

[@roxanneworld11]

mystery solved!..always wondered how the chef made those..my favorite seafood omelette (with avocado and cream cheese, topped with hollandaise sauce, yum!) is made this way..didn't know it was a "french" method..but, interestingly enough, i always described it as being wrapped like crepes!..thanks for the info and the cooking lesson! ☺

[@bobdown4805]

Love the shape lol does it remind you of something else maybe? In all seriousness thanks for this recipe and keep up the good work.

[@fireantsarestrange]

A little spinach and cheese and you got a winner.Oh.. and some fresh forest mushroom. Or truffle... whatever you like to call it.

[@hellotinashe]

I've not eaten an egg since I was 10 but boy does that look promising! 😋

[@Ramy-ql3tr]

You should cut it parallel. The Japanese chefs have perfected this dish beautifully.

[@bmoraski]

That is beautiful Chef. I first had a french omelet while on vacation years ago and it was the best i had ever had. This is the only way to make and eat an omelet.

[@waterdog737]

YASS Where was this Recipe in my life?

[@windowlicker1]

i too like a little omelette with my butter. looks delish.
