That video is from the second season of The Bear. I knew right away I would have to try the recipe.
The very thought of a buttery omelet filled with herby Boursin cheese and topped with potato chips seemed genius. And it is.
The Omelet From The Bear
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1 to 2 tablespoons salted butter, plus more for serving
Boursin cheese
Fresh chives, thinly sliced
Potato chips, gently crushed
Directions:
1. Place a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl. Crack eggs into the sieve, then whisk with a fork until all the egg has strained through. (I don’t know…I’m not sure this step made much difference).
2. Transfer the Boursin cheese to a pastry bag (or use a zip-top bag and cut a ½-inch hole off of one corner). This makes it easy to pipe a line of Boursin down the center of the omelet.
3. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted. Pour in the eggs and very lightly scramble with a spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until the top of the omelet looks almost entirely set. Run the spatula along the sides of the omelet and jiggle the pan back and forth to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Remove from the heat.
4. Pipe a generous line of Boursin down the middle of the omelet from one end to the other. Holding the handle of the pan, tilt the pan so that the top of the omelet starts to curl away from the pan. Use a fork or the spatula to gently roll the omelet into a tight cylinder. Transfer the omelet, seem-side down, onto a plate.
5. Spread some additional butter over the warm omelet, then garnish with chives and potato chips.

‘Spinning Away’ features in a third season episode of The Bear. It’s one of my favorite songs ever and I was thrilled when it came on.
Brian Eno is brilliant, as is John Cale. What an amazing tune that I hadn’t listened to in a long time.
“On a hill, under a raven sky
I have no idea exactly what I’ve drawn
Some kind of change, some kind of spinning away
With every single line moving further out in time”
Check out Brian Eno & John Cale on Bandcamp where you can buy their music.
Cheers!
