"This lesson helped me to completely re-conceptualize an omelet! While the cooking mechanics were challenging, I felt very equipped with useful tips and techniques, and was successful in the end.
I only wish it offered basic seasoning palates to explore. These eggs are quite delicate and easy to overshadow, and I still struggle finding complementary, and not overpowering, flavors. Also, I found the temperature recommendations to be a bit too generalized for this very sensitive cooking method."

When I made a cheese omelette using the instructions in the lesson, my husband and son said it was the best they have ever had. It tasted so flavorful, light and delicate. Can't wait to have friends over for a brunch."
