Creative Dining for One: French Omelette with Herbs and Goat Cheese
NEW YORK, New York
When you just can’t be bothered to cook but you know you need a proper meal, the best thing to make is an omelette. Served with a simple green salad, a slice of fresh buttered bread and a glass of wine, it makes a light and balanced meal. Lest you think that omelettes are intimidating, just watch Julia Child:
I tried it today just to prove to myself that it could actually happen in thirty seconds or less. In the space of one commercial break during the Mad Men season one marathon on AMC, an entire fresh meal came together! I added herbes de provence and goat cheese for a bit of filling just before turning it out of the pan, and it worked perfectly. Follow Julia’s recipe (high heat, hot nonstick pan, butter, two eggs, shake and flip) and you will do just fine. If you want an actual recipe to follow, this recipe for a Classic French Omelette will give you the step-by-step instructions. Bon appetit!
