Here in Brazil a somewhat common way to use up leftovers is mixing it with eggs and rice. Is a lot more like a scramble than an omelette (but it doesnt really have to be). I'm not usually a lazy person but I absolutely love those 'using leftovers in a simple manner' recipes from different cultures.

Very interesting! I have learned more from your video than I ever knew about omelets! Your a great teacher! I'm 85 years old, live in the Philippines, do all my own cooking and baking! I looove cooking! ( Sorry, didn't mean to quick question? Can you use Butter Crisco to do omelets, since the Crisco won't brown like butter! Thankyou so much for video..God Bless.

Love Chef Adrienne. Enjoyed this video but I already feel pretty proficient with omelets. However, her video on poached eggs is a complete game changer and unlike anything I had seen before. You have got to check it out.

Chef Adrienne is my neighbour! She is a great cook and loves to share her food 🤤

You’re a pro. I made one finally. The ouher curd was perfectly cooked, but did split and crack during the rolling process so I didn’t make a picture perfect oneI believe it was too thick and had too much wait on my spatula. I looked the inside a little longer because I prefer medium/hard scrambled eggs. I used roughly shredded Munster in the inside. I ate it with some toasted sour dough. Unbelievably satisfying. Low heat fast stirs. I need more practice but I think I am on the right track.

Adrienne, I love the beautiful, joyful way you teach your cooking skills 👌

Saw this in my feed, watched it, immediately tried to make a french omelette with grass onion (directly translated from norwegian, don't remember what the name is) for me and my girlfriend, and it was a success. Some breakage but no brown spots! First time making an omelette aswell, thank you for this!

I started out trying to make Le French omelet, but I overcooked a bit, thus browning the bottom - so my roll turned into more of a fold (or a "rold"?). Finally, I succumbed. Adding a dash of black pepper on top, I now call it, a Framerican omelet!
Thanks for the tips!

Great job explaining the process very clearly and in a fun way.

The way you present it, it is easy to understand . Really appreciate your work. Keep it up.

we need to see a lot more of this chef!!!

My favourite way to do omelettes is a cross between the two shown - soft and slightly under on the inside but browned and fried on the outside. I also can't go without a bit of melted cheese, some chopped parsley and thinly sliced ham or diced bacon in the middle. And always some cracked pepper on top!

Not omelettes but on a previous recipe by Adrienne I loved your poached eggs recipe. The best poached eggs that I have ever cooked. I love a runny yolk and it was perfect. Thank you for all these great recipes. Jon x

I love you Adrienne!! your videos are the best, coz you show every step of cooking precisely, it's very helpful to follow each stage of cooking, coz everything is crucial - devil hides in details, thank you !

[Karmer]

I messed up the first 2 times but this time around these are the best, most efficient method of cooking poached eggs ever!! Thank you so much ❤

[eqhcnyc]

Super love your way of presentation!!!

[OmarJuvera]

Have you watch the Japanese way to make omelets? It's crazy good, with many different techniques. Some even have runny yokes as you (and only as you) cut them.
Can you please make a video on how to make (restaurant-quality) Japanese omelets?

[menardmathieu]

Great video! Though omelette is feminine in French so it it would be « la French omelette », « l’omelette French » or better « l’omelette française ». Love Adrienne.

Never been a great Fan of American Cuisine but this Lady is the complete exception. A great Teacher with loads of personality

Wish this video had come out before I made breakfast today!
