This French-style omelet based on the one shown in FX’s “The Bear” is filled with Boursin cheese and topped with crushed sour cream and onion chips. The eggs are whisked through a mesh strainer to get an extremely smooth texture with no trace of egg whites or bubbles, and the finished omelet is rubbed with butter to make it shine.

Inspired by FX’s “The Bear” on Hulu.

Directions

  • Step 1

    Set a mesh strainer inside a medium bowl. Crack the eggs into the strainer and whisk with a fork until they pass through the mesh. Set the strainer aside and whisk the salt into the eggs.

  • Step 2

    In a 10-inch, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter, swirling to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.

  • Step 3

    Add the eggs and, using a rubber spatula in one hand, constantly stir the eggs while gently jerking the pan back and forth with your other hand. Cook the eggs, continuing to stir and scraping down the sides of the pan with the spatula periodically. Once the eggs are mostly set yet still runny and wet on top, about 3 minutes total, smooth them evenly across the skillet. Place dollops of cheese in a line across the upper third of the omelet.

  • Step 4

    Tilt the skillet and use the spatula to fold the top edge of the omelet over the cheese to the center; use the spatula and gravity to nudge the omelet to roll and fold over completely. Slide it onto a plate, seam side down, and rub the top of the omelet with the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter. Top with a sprinkling of chives, crushed potato chips and a couple grinds of black pepper, and serve.
