If you’re one of the many who’s seen the viral show The Bear, then this omelet with a unique cheesy, crunchy combo will look familiar. Team Delish asked me to re-create the “omelet scene—one of the most talked-about scenes in food—for fans of the show and simply those who love a savory breakfast. If you want to make this omelet—complete with Boursin and sour cream and onion chips—at home, there’s a couple things you want to keep in mind:
The technique:
Watch the scene carefully, and you’ll notice that despite the semi-ridiculous technique (specifically, the egg scrambling over a strainer), Chef Sydney’s omelet is technically imperfect, as far as a classic French omelet is concerned. But that’s what fine dining is all about: The quest for perfection is only a quest, and perfection is never realized. Her trick to obscure the mistakes: Blanket the finished omelet in crushed potato chips (we highly recommend following this logic for mostly everything).
The pan:
My top tips for making this omelet? Don’t even think about making this in anything other than a nonstick pan. For the video I filmed of this recipe, I couldn’t find a nonstick pan; I struggled mightily. Secondly: Use the off-heat method on occasion. If you think it’s cooking too quickly, simply pull the pan off heat and let it rest.
