The Omelet from 'The Bear'
Clearly the latest star of the small screen, 'The Bear' is a real treat for food lovers.
The U.S. TV series follows Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, a top chef who leaves his job after the death of his brother in order to run his family's food business.
Jam-packed with close-up food shots, passionate acting, and well-crafted laughs, we're sure you'll be hungry for more.
Here's how to make the now-famous French omelet that's featured on the show:
Ingredients (for 2 people):
- 6 eggs
- 4 tbsp Boursin cheese
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 handfuls of chips
- 2 tbsp chopped chives
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Place a strainer over a bowl and break the eggs into it. This will prevent lumps developing, and the omelet will have a creamier consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In another bowl mix the Boursin cheese with a tsp of water to obtain a creamier and more texture. If you can't find this cheese, you can mix cream cheese with 1/2 tsp garlic powder and dried chives. Transfer to a piping bag or freezer bag, tie a knot and cut off one corner of the bag.
- Heat half the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and when melted (but not browned), pour in half the eggs and move the skillet around to spread the mixture. Cook for a couple of minutes until it starts to bubble.
- Pipe half of the cheese into the center of the omelet. Cook for 2 min.
- Roll the omelet into a tortilla, and serve on a plate. Sprinkle with crushed chips and fresh chives.
