I'm not an expert on cheese, but I know what I like. Thing with cheese, wine, olive oil and a bunch of other products, is that the taste can change from year to year. That's the beauty of it. See, by trying to standize the taste, your left something bland that has a vague taste of the original. Tomatoes and strawberries, oranges, bananas. Etc

In my 68 years, I've never made an omelet that way... but now I have to try it! I do most everything like yours, except that I set the meat/onion mix aside and cook just the eggs, then add the cheese. After that is done. I put the contents on one half of the omelet and fold it over. The veggies and meat are not "in" the egg, but it's more like an egg sandwich. Mom cooked them that way, and Moms are never wrong!

This was my dinner tonight. Pure dining ecstacy. I rarely use butter with eggs and am usually too snooty to admit that I like American cheese, but with Chef John's blessings I used both. I confess that I didn't fold it as instructed. Instead I laid slices of fromage d'Amerique on top and slid it under the broiler to finish. This is the custom in my home country of North Carolina. It worked out real good, even without ketchup. Not that there's anything wrong with ketchup. Some of my best friends use it.

I learned how to make omelets by watching the cooks in the Army. That was the first time I’d ever had eggs any way other than scrambled. Though the omelet line was usually longer than I had time for so over easy became my go to, until I learned that over medium was a thing. I didn’t try making one though till I got out, but I was glad I had watched them. Other than trying my first one on high heat it turned out ok.

I know what you mean. I've always known this as a pretty normal ham and cheese omelette... with ham and cheese omelettes being pretty much the default omelette. Onion and bell peppers were the normal additives for pretty much any omelette. Weird that after 50+ years it seems it has a specific name. I mean, other than descriptive... ham, cheese, steak, chicken, etc... with the catch all "Kitchen Sink" omelette. I do prefer salsa to ketchup on my eggs but it's no dealbreaker. My husband prefers ketchup, so we're even.

Rhys Hoskins it's all subjective man. Just make stuff look pretty but also accessible. Plating should not make the dish more difficult to eat. The goal is to make it look more appetizing. Like if you make a nice medium rare steak, pre slice it,thick, and possibly at an angle, and fan it out so your guests can see the beautiful pink hue in a half moon shape, then maybe put some potatoes in the center and on the opposite side lay out your vegetable.

Chef John, you're the best! I learned how to make this style of "country omelet" by watching chow hall cooks in the Air Force. The "move beaten eggs around the pan until they're flat and barely liquid anymore, then add whatever the hell filling you want (plus a grip of cheese)" step is the most crucial. And I'm right there with you on the ketchup. I'm surprised I didn't hear any mention of "almost a frittata." I mean, any country omelete is minus one flip away from being a pretty good frittata. Myself, I'm not a fan of frittatas. I'd rather throw 1 cup of cheese on it, close it like a dream journal about good heart health, and then beg the cholesterol gods to look the other way while I murder the cheesy omelete I just made.

Or cheddar. As a bona fide cheese snob, I can tell you that America makes some of the best cheddars in the world. Most of the best ones are aged for at least 2 years and will be wax covered and often white instead of yellow/orange, since the annatto doesn't really add anything but color. Since it's unnecessary, a lot of high-quality cheese makers just leave it out. Of course you can get a lot of great cheese made here, and cheddar isn't original to the US. But we have really mastered cheddar.

@bloodgain6 жыл бұрын
Yes and no. If you're going to start excluding all innovation for soft cheeses (e.g. Humboldt Fog), blue cheeses (Maytag), and other whole categories, you're going to have a hard time pinpointing where most cheeses originated. Colby and Jack aren't that special in that regard, as similar mild cheeses do exist elsewhere. Is there no Italian pasta, since they originally got it from Arabic merchants, who got it from Asia? The point is, Americans have been making cheese for hundreds of years now, and despite years of bad policy (i.e. no raw milk cheeses, now mostly allowed), we've got some damn fine cheese. And yeah, Velveeta is pretty awful, though it can make a good dip with a bunch of other stuff dumped in it. We have bad, over-processed foods, just like everyone other modern country. Some of ours just happen to be cheese-like.

bloodgain Cheddar is very much a British cheese, it should be pointed out. I was simply mentioned cheeses that actually originated N America. There are of course a whole spectrum of cheeses that were invented in Latin America as well.

No, these are the same ingredients that make up a Western omelet. No mushrooms, but that's not a bad idea.

I have made several of your recipes with terrific results. Making one of the short rib dinners tonight (again). Thanks for sharing your techniques and advice with all your viewers.
