Michael Anton Cooks: The French Omelette

This weekend, go to the supermarket and grab some eggs and herbs. Join Anton as he makes a fluffy, exquisite, cigar-shaped omelette.

The other week, we featured my friend Michael Anton in his kitchen, making a lamb demi-glace and discussing cooking. It was a hit, and we couldn’t wait to do more. Now, this video is a bit more practical—here, before the weekend, is a dish you can make at home without spending hours in the kitchen.

Enjoy!
