No stick-um pan

A non-stick pan is a must. And theoretically, an omelet pan should only be used for omelets. Otherwise you run into sticking.

Lunch or dinner

The French serve an omelet for lunch or supper. Never for breakfast.

Eggs

Use 2-3 eggs per omelet inorder to ensure it cooks correctly and retain the tender quality of a french omelet.

Lessons from Julia is a weekly series where I post what I am learning from watching episodes of The French Chef with Julia Child starting at season 1, episode 1.
