SoGood.TV: French Omelette Inspired by Julia Child

[11TomAce]

very nice scrambled eggs! julia child??? watch jacques pepin omelette if you want to learn...

[lamusicamagnifica14]

Like the video, but the eggs look kinda green when she beated it.

[randallrlyle2]

You know this video is a train wreck as opposed to Julia's original omelette show. I saw it in real time and have made thousands of omelettes since. I suggest you go back and see the original video. You get a B for effort but a D for history of the issue Love. Randall, Texas

[quityojibbajabbaa]

why dilute the taste of the egg with water?!?! not impressed

[Mujave]

@orionsk8r Haha :D I had completely forgotten about this great display of how not to treat a non-stick surface. But thank you for reminding me!

[realhiphop087]

Lol u cheated again! julia did not use a fork while shaking the plan...ahhhh sly devil

[macintologist04]

You say the local organic free range eggs taste better, but I can guarantee that in a blind taste test you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

[shahshahzad14]

horrible reciepe

[agretha]

thanks for the video...but never use a fork in a non-stick pan. the fork is scratching the surface and toxins are going to be released into your food.

[MJibraan]

No need the extra use of the fork in the pan

[toeknee1965]

what is even nicer that takes only an extra minute.. is whip the egg whites with the water first then add the yellow. makes it so extra fluffy.

and ybt he way. what the hell are u doing with a metal fork in a teflon pan. girl u want cancer or something?

[chefmolly84]

hi, ive watched a few of your webisodes and i have to tell you (and i watch a lot of cooking tv) you are a natural! i really enjoyed watching you and i learned as well!

thanks!

[Paddeiii]

in germany, we wouldnt call this "rührei" o.o

[renaccio]

If you jerk the pan around enough you don't really need the extra use of the fork in the pan. The omelet should be yellow..like in your video..but no brown of any shade anywhere. Just made one and had it with some French bread and BUTTER and a little vino bianco. Buon Apettito!

"Simple but not easy" Words to live by

[NikFromNYC]

Slightly too scrambled egg like, due to use of fork to attack the poor thing. Your final result looks damned good though. Wine with breakfast food is a good idea too. I have a version that, true to Julia Child, uses no spatula at all, yet includes filling as well, if desired. See my "Low Carb Spatula Free Julia Child Style Quickie Omelet".

[mmclees]

Whoa... whoa whoa... there's no need for that fork on your non-stick.

[queendimples]

I really enjoy your videos and your home looks so welcoming, esp the hearth area. Bravo!

[orcabella]

nop

[Nekron70]

I like your vids but metal on nonstick, wtf?

[PolarisUSMC]

Needs more wooden spoons. ;-)

[ClaytonGloverImages]

OMG... FRENCH OMLETTE? I thought thats how you made scrambled eggs... that how I been making my scrambled eggs for years.. HMmm who knew...LOL

[stevensonrf]

Wow! Fantastic video! Do you film it all yourself or do you have a helper? And Yes, You are soooo right! The JC Omelette is fantastic!

[Mujave]

Great way to ruin the pan :)

[thekitkatshuffler]

Bwahahahaha!

It was all going so well at the ingredients stage, but all of a sudden you decided to improvise and make scrambled eggs instead!

The only thing French about this omelette is that any Frenchman present in that kitchen would've raised the white flag when you started clobbering things! Haha!!

One more thing - I personally wouldn't add the seasoning to the mix until cooking is well under way as it effects the chemical make-up of the concoction and won't cook as evenly.

[acrossthenorthernsea]

why dont you make a video showing us the 'right' way?

[OvoPiano]

the real French omelette should be made in less than 50 seconds and should not sit in the pan, so yes the process is very similar, to a certain extent, to making scrambled eggs

[OvoPiano]

also the kitkatshuffer, check the video on youtube "Taste Secrets: Omelette" to see a french cheff from the french culinary school, making an omelette the same way it is done in this video

[antonc81]

My thoughts exactly. Julia never scrambles on the pan.. she give some time for the bottom of the omelette to coagulate then shakes to dislodge the bottom and fold. watch?v=LWmvfUKwBrg

[psychoslap]

@antonc81 well the french DO scramble in the pan, both julia child's omelette and this one are shit though. This looks like someone trying to make her first french style omelette and failing horribly.

[antonc81]

Yeah it depends where you go.. i have seen french chefs scramble and others that don't and i've even seen french country cooks make an omelette that is flat, not folded over but cooked on both sites like a spanish tortilla. In terms of this style of omelette I think the main thing, whether you scramble or not, is that it is not overcooked on the inside.

[sentino68]

Just made some earlier today a' la Julia. . .I don't like to fork the eggs in the pan as you show. . . I usually jerk the pan around, or back and forth to spread the egg so as to heat it up. It yields a more creamy inside. . . I love how you complimented the meal with the salad, bread, and vin.

[Lranee]

her locs are beautiful

[bpayt13]

wow - you smack that pan and stove around!! you go girl.

[amexred]

love your presentation. that omelet looks delicious. i haven't tried an omelet like that for dinner before.

[traic118]

I LOVE the fact you're using real butter!

[todd2007]

I can't wait to see this movie, i've read all 3 of those books, lol

[splitza]

SAME... so excited!

[jennytheripper]

onm nom nom nom nom

looks great

[crileyhome]

RickyTomatoes, you should be hit with a spatula! LOL! Heather, go ahead and hit him!

[TheXander360]

or hit by the hot pan lol

[Cherished131]

Glad to see you are inspired. I want to see Julia and I want to see Food, Inc. I have to see where it's playing here.

[hsjohnston]

Food Inc is definitely worth seeing, very informative.

[gordoneriksen]

Julia is definitely worth seeing.

[rainy1314emily]

@gordoneriksen

Hey Heather,do you have any plans to demonstrate Julia Child's Potage Parmentier ?

[piratechefny]

@Cherished131 .... just youtube Julia and you can forego watching any of these idiots trying to recreate the real deal..... and JC did it on an electric stovetop.

[Paigey12386]

Mmm that looks amazing, although I'm sure if I tried that method Id end up spilling the eggs all over the place!

[weeknightingale]

That's what I like simple!

[chellyrocks2]

looks good=D

[Xone7]

simple and nice

[SmallerC]

Wow, that looks good.

[brunoramos13]

Great video...
