This is a long forgotten recipe. I learned to make this back in the 60s while living in San Pedro, California. I lived in this small beautiful hilly Seaside town over looking the Los Angeles harbour and the Pacific ocean. From my tiny apartment, perched high on a hill, I could see the harbour & all the Mountains surrounding Los Angeles. During the winter time I could see the snow capped mountains of Los Angeles, San Gabriel & San Bernardino while I sat in 70 degree weather. It was a short walk up the hill to the old Lighthouse which over looks the Pacific ocean & out to Catalina.

How To Make french omelette

Step 1

Have a cast iron skillet with a lid and use the clarified butter to coat well the bottom and sides.

Step 2

Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt.
Step 3

Beat the yolks until foamy.
Step 4

Fold egg yolks into egg whites until well incorporated.
Step 5

Gently pour the eggs mixture into the heated cast iron skillet. Cover and slowly cook until fluffy and done.
Step 6

I loved making this with a chopped onion that had been browned well, before making the omelette. I poured the eggs on top of the onions and cooked. Then I covered in Hollandaise sauce. You can use any ingredients you want.
