Perfect French omelet, attempt 1
This morning I tried for the first time to make a perfect French omelet using the recipe from the January-February 2009 issue of Cook's Illustrated. It turned out half decent. The real trick is to believe that you can trust the very brief period of time that the omelet stays on medium high heat and then to remove it without stirring anymore, otherwise the omelet turns into mere scrambled eggs.
I'm pleased, though. The result came close this first time. I'll definitely try it again.
