A well made omelette is not browned, your taste in omelettes is that of a bitch

>my omelette is supposed to be overcooked, I like it this way

>Too pleb to know Jacque Pepin cooks an omelet like this

>Laik zees

Looks gr8 opie

>>5892362
Generally not a fan of an omelette cooked that hard on one side, then folded in half. That's the norm in American restaurants, which is why I never order them. I like my eggs more under than over in terms of doneness.

>>5892383
I don't listen to senile old bitches.

It looks like ass, I don't care what you say about the inside, the texture and taste of browned eggs is revolting

>>5892362
>looks crunchy, dense
>pre-shredded cheddar
>plebtier industry eggs
>streaked whites
at least you seasoned the egg before cooking. 3/10

>>5892387
You take that back motherfucker.

>>5892362
Looks good, would devour/10

ITT a bunch of retards that don't realize that there are many omelette styles.
Some call fora lightly browned exterior.
You idiots watch one cooking show and think you know everything.

>>5892488
The sauce he puts on at the end is too many.

>>5892471
I am guilty of the second charge.
I am also guilty of using shitty ham.
I suppose I'm guilty of not giving enough of a fuck about ingredients to dice up a high-quality ham steak or get pastured eggs or shred my own artisan cheese for the breakfast I have each morning.
The eggs were anything but crunchy and dense though. If anything, I think they might've been undercooked overall.

>>5892503
Yeah, if I were actually trying to impress someone, I would've used better ingredients.

Ew. Eggs should never brown in the slightest. Dat metal taste... and the smell... fuck.

God damnit you people disgust me

>>5892520
>not pre frying your ham before hand

>>5892536
Can I ask what, precisely, that does?

>>5892561
Mallard affect.

>all these basic bitches ITT that can't appreciate a proper omelette

>>5892574
> Mallard affect

Is that when you quack while you're cooking?


OP, that omelette looks a little over-done. Also it looks like the thing was completely cooked before you added the ham.

I'd eat it but I might not like it.

>>5892574
Effect, just sayin'. Affect is emotional, effect is actual effects on something.
I'm not being a twat, jut sayin' so ya know. I get corrected for stuff too.

>>5892606
How did you not also catch that he called it a duck

>>5892613
Got me. Maillard reaction it is.
But some retard ducks are funny too, unless they're crapping all over your lawn.

>>5892590
Shut up Denny's dishwasher

>mfw i like my omelette brown on the outside
>mfw i can't stand runny undercooked eggs

am i a pleb /ck/?

>>5892644
Yes.

>>5892652
i also like my steak medium-well

>>5892644
>mfw i like my omelette brown on the outside


Not a pleb for that
But you are a pleb for being squeamish about runny eggs.

>>5892653
Now you are just being an asshole.

>>5892644
Pretty typical for an American.
>>5892653
Pretty typical for an American a generation or two ago.

>>5892644
>that browned egg smell

>>5892668
Do you have nothing to do besides shitpost about Americans?

>>5892673
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>5892674
I am an American, and this shit is the reason I never order omelettes (or eggs) in restaurants. The norm here is overcooked. Some states even have laws that eggs have to be overcooked or the place can't serve them.

>>5892657

>being squeamish about runny eggs

i can't stand was an exaggeration. i just prefer eggs cooked well in any form, but i'll eat runny too

>>5892668
not an american though

Looks dry. Also needs green onions.

>>5892680
>Some states even have laws that eggs have to be overcooked or the place can't serve them
Bullshit. They are required to have a consumer advisory though.

>>5892362
too burnt, not exaggerating either

also: >>5892719

>>5892714
Ok then.
Here is your mancard back.

>>5892590
fucking disgusting

>>5892644
a proper french omelet is not runny at all. just tender and creamy.

>>5892733
This. Sometimes it's part of company policy, however.

>>5892733
You are right. There was such a law in NJ for a minute. I remembered that. Didn't realize it had been repealed.

>>5892834
There are at least two proper French omelet anon.

>>5892943
Could you explain a bit more? I need more egg knowledge. Is it mainly the different procedures: breaking up curd in a medium-high heat pan versus allowing eggs to set without breaking curd in a high heat pan?

>>5892362
>Country style
Jacques pepin would not be amused.
