Playing With My Food ~
A journal about food, thought, travel, and life; by Chef & Raconteur Chaz French.

Victory!

One of the things I love about cooking is learning something new, and sometimes learning just doesn’t come easy, a gap in my skills has always been my inability to make a decent omelette. Now not being good at something and having them consistently fail, over time, I stopped trying.

Last night I was hungry, really hungry and I needed food fast. And out of the blue I said “I’m making a damned omelette.”

Success, at long last! No longer will fluffy light omelettes taunt me from the egg carton. It was a delicious victory.


I discovered that a screaming hot pan and more butter than most people would admit to using* for 2 eggs was the trick. I don’t use non-stick (Teflon is nasty), so to pull this off in a stainless steel pan just makes the victory tastier.

*I used about 3 Tablespoons of French Butter.
