The preparation of this dish in France is very scrupulous. There is even an opinion that a real French chef should be able to cook a real omelet before all other dishes.
Probably only in France for its preparation there should be a special frying pan in which nothing else is cooked.
The peculiarity of the preparation is that there is no milk in the composition of the products. The French version should not be fluffy, so the eggs do not whisk and when cooking it is not covered with a lid. Fry it on one side only. And when it becomes almost ready, it is rolled up in a tube.
If it is prepared with filling, then it is added just before it is time to wrap the finished omelet with a tube. All pre-filling procedures such as roasting, braising, etc. are carried out separately.
We need:
Preparation:
1. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork, making sure that no foam forms.
2. For cooking, it is best to have a pan with a thick bottom so that the heat is evenly distributed. Heat it over a fire and add butter. Wait for the butter to melt and immediately pour out the egg mixture.
3. After two minutes, sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper. Shake the pan slightly during frying to prevent the base from overcooking. Fry over medium heat until the edges turn golden brown. The middle will remain slightly viscous.
4. When ready, fold the two edges towards the center. Allow to stand for 15-20 seconds, then fold in half.
5. Transfer the omelet to a plate, serve with fresh vegetables and herbs.
As mentioned above, the French also prepare it with various fillings. Moreover, each of the provinces has its own branded filling. So in the Alps, they use their famous cheeses as a filling, in Normandy, apples, in Provence, chestnuts, in Poitou - of course, truffles. But in Savoy I add greaves, to my great surprise.
But when adding the filling, remember that the filling cannot be mixed with the eggs. It is added only at the very end, before it is time to roll the omelette into a tube. In this case, the filling impregnates it well with its aromas, and it turns out to be incredibly tasty.
This recipe is somewhat more complicated than the first one. But it is more difficult only in terms of the number of ingredients. Surprising all your family and making such a breakfast will not be difficult at all.
