This French-style cold pique-nique omelet is perfect for picnics, light lunches, or make-ahead meals. Filled with leeks, mushrooms, and topped with fresh chives, it’s delicious served chilled or at room temperature.

so nice to remember his moms recipe with a sweet smile in introducing it. ❤
I need to find me a hot French gal to wash my mushroom
Yummy 🇦🇺🦘🐨
Your videos bring me joy. I grew up watching you.
I have a big problem with browned eggs. In my opinion eggs should NEVER be browned when cooked. Dry eggs are horrible
The undisputable omelet master
Excellent…and delicious!
Jacques Pèpin il est le GOAT bien sûr.
Picnics in America are not possible, this video will not spread. I love you Jacques P. We will be arrested, or mugged. C'est la guerre.
I have that same white OXO pepper mill – love it! Among a dozen other pepper mills I have, it's the closest at hand and the most used.
Love this
Come visit The Roeland Home Bed & Breakfast in Twin Falls Idaho so we can make you Breakfast or dinner on the Snake River 🤠🥔🤠
I am not a chef, but I do not like any brown on my omelet. Just my opinion.
wow
Respect ✊
Simple and tasty omelette recipe. 😊
Oh. Chives. What a shock.😂
Everyting you do is wonderfull,thank you
Xtra olive oil 👍🤤
Thank you – you give us so much information and pleasure
Of all the years Jacques Pepin has been a chef, have never seen him use a "Bench Scrapper" to remove chopped things from his cutting board and transfer to the cooking pans. Amazing the number of eggs used for this omlet in the small frying pan!
Superb. I am inspired to try this.
So you removed the water from the mushrooms by frying and then added water to the pan?
Thank you Jacques!
Jacques, that looks magnificent.
If you’re watching this or any other Jacques video, find the one where he roasts a chicken in a cast iron skillet. The way he carves the chicken at the end is pure artistry, you’ll be amazed.
Guy's almost 90 now. I wonder if he's still active. I assume these videos are years old.
I've been making omelets with the same technique for years. I didn't know it was already a thing. I call mine "dirty omelet". 😄
You explain things so well.
Lovely.
Thanks mrJack. You are wonderful, I m happy cooking now.
I love this man. I have learned so much over the many years I have been watching him. Check out his series with Julia Child. It is informative, heart warming and funny. Thanks. Liked and subscribed.
My favorite dishes are when he shares what his mother used to cook. Though I was born in the 80s, it transports me to an earlier time.
Very nice. Always like the cooking and buying tips
Lovely
Jacques you are great. I also miss your collaboration with Julia.
Thank you Chef Pe’pin! You are an artist and a teacher and greatly admired.
I’d love to hear more about picnics gone on back in the day.
One of my all-time favorite chefs for sure. I have been a fan for many years. Not just Jacques's vast knowledge and skills but also what I perceive as his character. Thank you sir for being the teacher you are. Je vous salue monsieur. Merci.
One Tablespoon my A**! 😂. My mom watches way too much Julia and Jacques and thinks the world won’t turn unless lubed by “just a little butter” because of these two French cooks/chefs!! But, all good, very much appreciate the lessons. 👍👍
Jacques is such an amazing chef and a gift from God
Bravissimo, Jacques!
That's one FRENCH tablespoon of butter!
Yum
