Jacques Pépin Makes Eggs Jeannette | American Masters: At Home with Jacques Pépin | PBS

Official website: www.pbs.org/americanmasters
Jacques walks us through the recipe for Eggs Jeannette. Eggs Jeannette is an essential recipe for Jacques that his mother used to make for him. Hard cooked eggs, yolks removed and mixed with garlic and parsley, then returned to the whites and sautéed stuffed side down. Finally they’re served with a mustard vinaigrette. A very easy-to-do, delicious, and unusual way to enjoy eggs. Happy cooking!

I really love this Guy, he reminds me of My many Happy times In France in General but Bordeaux in Particular & not even got to The Great French Wine yet, Bravo Jacque! France has The Best Cuisine, Viv La France!

[@all-gone]

I lost my Aunt Jeanie who was a mother to me my entire life 6 months ago after an aggressive 3 month battle of cancer. She had Epitheleoid Angiosarcoma, cancer of the blood vessels. It was horrible. For 3 months I sat by her side. She was a fabulous cook and I wrote so many of her recipes down. I value them more than money. This video brought her to me. I hope to someday get past the terrible feeling of loss and sadness I have. It’s hard to even grasp she gone still. Thanks for sharing your own words and feelings. It just reiterates we’re all the same even though we like to think we’re different. Peace all. 💙

I am sure his mother was over the moon proud!

[@joannaedwards6325]

@@all-gone Thank you for your comment about your Aunt Jeanie. Maybe think about writing your story and thus creating a warm hearted recipe book with her recipes and your memories. I would buy that book. And believe many ppl would also. Don't just think about it. DO IT! In your writing and compiling of her recipes you will end the feelings of loss and build up all your good memories of your lives together. Please do it.💜

[@questionmark5463]

Anyone else here who got obsessed at one point about french omelets because of this amazing guy? I certainly did! I drove my wife nuts for 2 months trying to get them just right. My son, who is 8, only will eat them that way now. ☺️ Any other kind of omelet gets a death stare from him. Lol! I have learned more about cooking from Chef than anyone else I can think of. A true living legend and he's still there teaching people all the time. ♥️🙏🙏🙏

[@darronsanders196]

Yes! I do have to say, in the US, we aren’t used to the eggs being browned, but I’m giving it a try! I do enjoy chef Ramsay’s English country eggs 🥚

[@bratticuss]

No Julia Child got me into making omelets

[@colinmcdonald2499]

@@bratticuss I doubt Julia and Jacques ever had an argument about omelets. Jacques was still in Culinary, helping develop modern American cuisine and writing his Bible and teaching too, when Julia was already on TV. I am sure there are hours of the two cooking together on her show on You Tube and many hours that are still in archives. I do hope the Smithsonian will preserve all of both of their work. People need to know how they influenced the basic quality of cooking in the States. American food was spotty ( awesome in some places and ways and awful in others ) before Julia Child and Jacques Pepin came onto the scene. American food was Solid when Julia left and her dear friend Jacques and uncountable immigrants like him and people passionate to learn and experiment, like her, keep helping it get tastier and tastier. With platforms like KZbin... This is going on in remote places globally as we type. Hopefully those remote places will keep cooking their way and send it back out to the world too!

[@alexmarcus9009]

My French grandmother used to make eggs like that. The memories came flooding in; I was teary-eyed but smiling!

She is, Jacques. She most certainly is.

He may be the sweetest man alive. Watching and listening to him brings a smile to my face.

[@broccolihart1]

One of the few chefs who actually use a utility knife for most of his cutting.

[@Kingfisher1215]

broccolihart71 yeah, I can't do that. I need a chef's knife. But it's the result that matters, not the technique.

Really fantastic to see the smile on his face from the for the love for his mother and his family. Wonderful recipe. ☺️☺️☺️

[@mahumike7531]

I KNOW! the eggs themselves didnt appeal to me from the start but i watched the whole thing because of that!

You can see the little boy in him shining through here as he's cooking. Watch his slight mannerisms and you can tell he's getting more and more excited as he's reminded of his mother cooking those eggs for him.

"These are the flavors of my youth." It's a joy to see him use cooking to rekindle warm memories.

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

I just made this for a special breakfast. I cannot tell you guys how positively divine it was. You have got to try this. Definitely one of my new favorite dishes ever!

[@margaretbrabham2009]

I have watched Chef Pepin as he aged and have so enjoyed every stage, learned so much. This video, where he is older moved me to tears. I lost my father a couple of years ago he was about the same age as Jacques is in this video. My father's hands, like Jacques, were age worn but so deft and strong. He learned to cook from his mother as well and when I cooked with him there was a running commentary of memories of her kitchen, his father's garden as well as life lessons about hard work and attention to detail. Tony Pezzullo cooked the simple, delicious southern Italian food he grew up on. One of my last memories was of him cooking his eggplant parmigiana with a splendid marinara. When he finished putting it in the oven, he turned to me and said, "there, my mother's mulignan, she would be proud of me."

[@vellabella1]

Likes the way he speaks of his Mother

[@omakis965]

Love this guy. I’ve been watching him since I was a kid. 30 years later he’s still amazing. Bravo mon cher Jacques!! Toujours un privilège d’apprendre tes recettes !! 🍻✌️
