How many eggs does it take to be good at this, hahaha? Yours looks like it’s rolled in thirds. When can I come over and see you in action?

reading this makes me want to make the omelet(te) instantly. Such delicious twists on a simple recipe, made with love... and the (Re)making Love-Story — so many delicate layers, tasty ingredients, and evocative flavours — the saying "you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs" applies to both.

Oh, Veronika, how you make me smile from ear to ear and in our case, from sea to sea!

Fork-stirring everything with love is what it’s all about. And tasty too! (Re)making Love was such a tender and wild ride. I hope it can live on my bookshelf someday.

I love omelettes and they are in my wheelhouse but the flip is always hit or miss. We'll see. Sounds scrumptious.

I've seen that Jacques Pepin omelette-making video! (My husband is the omelette-maker in our family.)

Yes, indeed! Jacques comes across as a down-to-earth and approachable chef.

wonderful recipe and thoughts; btw ... many years ago I thought 'soufflé '. I'd never made one or eaten one. I found a recipe and used a 'pot on the stove' method, baked it and loved it. Someone I made one for enjoyed it so much, she bought me two soufflé pans. They somehow migrated to a rear area in a large cupboard. I was reminded of that the other day as I packed up for moving ... and your omelette today is a nudge for me ... there might be a souffle in my near future!

We share the love of the omelette, Mark, and the soufflé -- And did you know that we can make small ones in ramekins? You've now given me an idea for another essay: The mini soufflé!

I love nothing more than a French omelette with herbs… But, it’s an innate talent and it’s all in the wrist

I did eventually master that flip of the wrist, Ellen --and, as you can see, we share the love of the omelette.

I dare say I was not gifted that talent

I love that clip. I must admit, I don't make an omelette (let's be French today) pristine like that often, but there is a wonderful satisfaction to it when done well.

Tim, isn't there such a satisfaction in the delicacy of this dish. And, yes, let's be French today :)! I so agree about Jacque Pepin, who inspires.
