French-ish Omelette with Asparagus and Goat Cheese

Ages ago, a friend of mine was talking about his upcoming week in culinary school and how they were taking on the French omelette. French omelette? Aren’t omelette’s all the same? He explained the difference and I’ve been wanting to tackle the French omelette ever since.

I spent a few minutes watching Jacques Pepin and

Julia Child videos {seriously}. I preferred Pepin’s style and, with his instruction, was able to execute a mighty fine first attempt at a French-ish omelette. I say French-ish because I used asparagus and goat cheese in lieu of traditional herbs.

A regular {non-French} omelette, in my opinion, tends to be dense, requiring a ton of filling in order to make the egg less overwhelming. With the French omelette, that’s not the case. This version is so light and fluffy, you barely need any additions. Simply put, I adored this omelette and can’t wait until the weekend rolls around so I can make it again!
