Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 18 eggs (3 per person)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon crushed white peppercorns
- 1 bunch chives, finely chopped
- 1 bunch chervil, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- Roasted mushrooms and watercress, as accompaniment, if desired
- Roasted mushrooms and watercress, as accompaniment, if desired
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- To clarify the butter, put it in a small pot over low heat and slowly bring to a simmer. Cook over low heat until the butter separates. When the milk solids fall to the bottom and the golden butter- fat rises to the surface remove from heat. Set aside
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl and pour in cream. Add pepper and whisk until well incorporated and foamy.
- Preheat the pan over medium heat. When the pan is heated, add 2 or 3 tablespoons of clarified butter. Turn the heat down slightly. Using a 4-ounce ladle, add 1 ladle of eggs into the pan. Using a spatula, start stirring quickly.
- Once the eggs begin to set, stop stirring. Put the pan in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. When you remove the omelette from the oven it should still have a soft custard touch.
- Sprinkle with chopped herbs, a pinch of sea salt and cracked white pepper.
- Serve with roasted mushrooms and watercress.

It’s delicious!!
This is a great omelette recipe. I used it for my left over turkey plus cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese—superb!!! Way to go, Chef Tyler!!!
I have done this omlette recipe many times and I love it. It comes out fluffy and delicious, even better than most restaurants! I won’t make an omlette any other way now. I’ve put many different types of fillings and even made healthier version with 2 egg whites and one whole egg and it turned out just as good. BEWARE have a really good oven mitt one time I brunt my hand getting the omlette out of the oven even with an oven mitt on. Don’t know if I have a cheap oven mitt or what, but just an FYI.
I have not had a lot of success with omelette in the past. This was a huge success! This recipe is simple and yet makes the most elegant and best tasting omelette we have ever had.
how would this work to add more ingredients inside the omelette? the same way or no variations
Great to have this clasic in your repertoire.
Great test to see if you can really cook.
I really learned the basics of a good omlette with this receipe.
This is a fool proof recipe! I impress every guest that comes to our home with this and always get requests for the recipe. I have several egg pans on hand so people can eat together (small nonstick fry pans). I would use this recipe for a bed and breakfast. A good dinner recipe also! I’ve yet to try one of Tyler’s recipes that have bombed out. Way to go good lookin!!
The white pepper and mushrooms are perfect with this dish. The eggs also had the perfect texture. This is a must try!
