Michelin star award winning chef teaches Rian how to make the perfect omelette

Jan Hendrik is a multi skilled South African born Chef, now living in France. He recently became the only South African to receive a Michelin Star Award. He is the owner of restaurant JAN in Nice, France. This morning he joins us in studio play a round of 'who's the better cook?' between the team as well as to finally teach Rian how to make the perfect omelette. 


Jan Hendrik Chef

A few months back, chef Jan Hendrik, shared one of his omelette recipe's with us. Rian attempted to make the omelette and completely did the recipe no justice. However, Jan Hendrik finally came to join us all the way from France to show Rian where he went wrong and hopefully teach Rian how to make the perfect omelette.




All the information you need is below:





Ingredients:


3 eggs

30ml cream

A pinch of salt and pepper

50g butter (room temperature)

30g cream cheese

10g chives (finely chopped)

1kg cooked beetroot (chopped)

40g smoked salmon

One handful of rocket leaves


Utensils:


A standard non stick frying pan

A bowl

Fork

Egg Lifter


Method:


Mix the eggs, cream , salt and chives in a bowl with a fork. Heat your pan on high for two to three minutes. Put your butter in and spread over the entire pan.


NOW YOU NEED TO BE QUICK! Place your egg mixture in the pan and spread out across the entire pan.


Lift the pan up and use your egg-lifter to spread the egg mixture over the pan. Make sure that you loosen the sides with your egg lifter.


Preparation Methods:


Fold the furthest section of the omelette over towards your body. Then fold the closest third side of the omelette away from your body.


Spread the cream cheese on the middle of the omelette. Pack the beetroot, salami and rocket on top of your omelette and sprinkle the pepper over. Then fold the last side over and tip the omelette over.



Rian attempted to make the omelette a few months back. Uhm, let's just say that it never came out as we thought it would.

However, Jan Hendrik taught Rian how to actually make the omelette and taught him step by step to make the perfect omelette, or at least a lot better than the above attempt. 


Then we asked Jan Hendrik to share with us a few tips on healthy living when cooking in the kitchen:
