The Omelette… seemingly simple to make yet difficult to master.
Did you know that omelette preparation is often one of the first culinary tests for potential new hires?
Making the perfect omelette is used to measure culinary skills because it requires a chef to pay attention to the finest of details. You need the right amount of heat, texture, time, and technique to perfect the finished dish, which should be slightly creamy, perfectly molded and glistening. An executive chef knows that if a cook or chef understands these basic components, they can continue to refine their techniques and skills to successfully create more complex dishes.
In our Culinary Management class, students practice their omelette-perfecting techniques using Ontario fresh eggs.
