Ingredients

  • FOR THE FILLING:
  • 1/3 cup goat cheese, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • FOR THE OMELETTE:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tbsp + 1 tsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp Lakeshore Shallot and Herb Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp Lakeshore Shallot and Herb cheese filling

Preparation Instructions:

For the filling, whisk goat cheese, mascarpone cheese, and Lakeshore Shallot and Herb Seasoning until smooth and creamy. Set aside. (leftover cheese filling can be stored in the refrigerator, for up to 5-7 days). This recipe makes enough filling for 6 omelettes, if making a smaller quantity, reduce.

Beat eggs with a fork or whisk until the whites are completely mixed with yolks and the mixture is very creamy.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8-inch nonstick omelette or sauté pan over medium heat until melted, but not brown.

Add eggs and stir, breaking up curds with a wooden spatula until they are soft and almost dry. Allow curds to form a single mass. Remove from heat and place pan on a towel.

Drop pieces of cheese filling on the bottom third of the omelet. Using a spatula or your hands, roll the bottom of the omelette towards the top and into a tapered almond shape (you can lay a towel over the omelet to protect your hands while you roll it).

Roll omelette onto a serving plate, rub top of omelette with teaspoon of butter for added flavor and glorious shine, and sprinkle with Lakeshore Shallot and Herb Blend.

Wipe pan with a soft towel before making an additional omelette.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a French omelette different from a regular omelette?

A French omelette is softly set, pale in color, and rolled or folded with a creamy interior rather than browned and fully firm.

How do I keep my omelette from browning?

Cook over medium-low heat and move the eggs gently and constantly to prevent color while forming fine, tender curds.

When should I add the seasoning?

You can whisk it into the eggs before cooking or sprinkle it in just before folding for a more pronounced flavor.

What pan works best for a French omelette?

A small nonstick skillet is ideal, as it allows for easy stirring, shaping, and a smooth release.

Can I add fillings to this omelette?

Yes, but keep them light—soft herbs, a little cheese, or delicate vegetables work best to preserve the classic texture.
