Facts. The classic style is a real eggspression of what incredible things eggs can become.

If you want something close, but slightly less refined go for the country style french omelette. Much easier to make and still has that delicious rare center.

Beets + chevre go great with an omelette btw.

Just never crank the heat up. Instead of this retard "high heat quick stirring turn the heat down immediately when it starts setting" bullshit just keep it on low heat and let it set more slowly. Takes a minute instead of 20 seconds. Then you don't have to worry about stirring aggressively or burning. Once it starts setting just start rolling it. Don't even have to adjust the heat. Once it's rolled add a sliver more butter and spoon over the top.

French omelettes are good, but I prefer sauteing frozen bell pepper and onion mix in half a table spoon of butter and making a two egg omelette. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne.

Scrambled eggs should never be browned. Omelettes can be browned, but this should be achieved by first lightly browning the butter in the pan before adding the egg, and cooking on a slightly higher heat than normal. It looks almost the same as if you just burn your eggs, but the taste is entirely different. Browned eggs =/= burnt eggs.

Also, of course fried eggs are delicious with crispy edges

If you're willing to bake beets for 2 hours try out this recipe. The first 5ish steps detail how to roast the beets.

Hands down the most delicious way to cook beets. The juice that forms at the bottom of the pouches is superb.

I'll put a small to medium amount of semi thinly sliced roast beets in the omelette. Just enough for some beet with each bite. Then drizzle the juices that collect from baking on top after cooking.

What is the best kind of pan for making a french omelette? I succeeded in making them a few years ago after watching a Jacques Pepin video on them but over the past year when I've tried I keep fucking up. I use gargantuan amounts of butter and a non-stick pan but it just doesn't seem to work, there's always some egg that sticks to the pan and then when I go to fold it over it breaks.

Driving me insane because it's the same pan I would use a few years ago when I made them. I'm thinking that maybe the issue is that the non-stick has worn off and the pan is scratched up a little bit? But then how did they make them before non-stick pans?

Should I just get a stainless steel pan? Is that my best hope to make a french omelette?

I was inspired and made the beet omelette I've been talking about. I had some cooked homegrown beets in the fridge.

Lil too much butter, but I could care less about that.

The sweet and earthy flavor of the beets is excellent with the richness of the eggs.

Raccoon shit is usually brown/dark brown and full of small bones, berry seeds, hair and looks similar to a log. I love collecting it and sniffing it
