Of course, we had to do it.
The Boursin Omelette scene from Hulu's 'The Bear' was the most talked about dish from season two of the restaurant-themed drama series. SBS Food editor and lover of all things food, Camellia Ling Aebischer gives us her take on the unconventional, show-stealing omelette. Trust us, it does not disappoint.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp soft herbed cheese (e.g. Boursin)
- Butter, to garnish
- 1 tsp chives, chopped
- 2 Tbsp sour cream and onion chips, crushed
- Cracked black pepper, to serve
Method
- Place a sieve over a small bowl and crack the eggs into the sieve. Using a fork whisk the eggs over the sieve until they pass through. This could take a few minutes.
- Season with salt and set aside.
- Place a medium nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow to melt. When bubbling, add the eggs and using a spatula stir the eggs, shaking the pan to break up any curds that form.
- When the eggs are still runny but beginning to set, smooth them into an even layer. Place or pipe a row of soft cheese in a line along one-third of the omelette. Use a spatula to gently fold it into thirds.
- Place the omelette on a plate and rub it with a little butter for a glossy finish. Garnish with chives, chips and cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Whisking your eggs into a sieve is essential for a smooth, silky omelette.
