    Omelette au Fromage is the French Style of Cheese Omelette, made with a double dose of cheese, Parmesan, and Gruyere cheese added to eggs. If you don't have guyere you can use processed cheese, that gets folded over the omelette.

    We are continuing the second day of cooking French Cuisine. While I had grand plans of making dishes like Pissaladiere, Bugnes, Gratin Dauphinois, and Flammekueche. Only I didn't get around making any of these above-mentioned dishes, though I must have spent many a day drooling over the delicious pictures these names conjured on. Before going into the recipe, let me share something first. For many years now, I must have watched that "Being Positive" tape at the office. While the gist of the tape ever stayed with me or not, one point that stuck with me is where the author says we should not use But! He says we should ban the word from our vocabulary.

    I have made ardent efforts to somehow remove this word from my usage. No, I am not saying I am so good at never saying no to anybody. Just that I have replaced that word with something else or I manage to say no in a different way!

    This also reminds me of what Dad keeps telling me on many occasions. Never give excuses! Of course, the situations that made him give me this gyan, was direr. Still, it's something that stuck for life and ensures I never try to give excuses for not having done something.

    I simply expect the other person to accept that I didn't do!Omelette au Fromage

    So you see the critical situation I find myself in right now? I can't use but and can't give excuses as well. What's left out is the simple brainwave that struck me at about 8.30 pm when I was thinking about what to cook for Hubby dear for dinner. Parents had taken kids for Dad's birthday treat and it was just two of us left to feed ourselves. It was just then that Padma pinged me on WhatsApp, asking how many dishes did I cook through the day. Knowing that I seem to be cooking about 6 -7 on a weekend, she was shocked when she heard I hadn't cooked any.

    And on top, I had two more dishes to be cooked and clicked on the French cuisine. She was very sure of my capability to cook up something and just to ensure my image to be in fact, I decided I ought to do something. I am not sure what prompted me to type in Omelette and I was shocked to realize that Omelette is of French origin! Imagine that!

    Anyway, I was thinking if I could get hubby dear to have Omelette for his dinner. He came back from his walk and I gingerly asked him if he was game to try some Omelette au Fromage. He said what??. Then I explained that I had to cook something French and this Omelette au Fromage seems to be the quickest dish I could make right then. The only thing he asked was, will it be spicy?

    So I said even if it wasn't I will ensure he gets his chilies. Of course, I added more pepper and not chilies to ensure I keep true to the recipe and not Indianised it.

    I found this recipe and wanted to ensure I replicate it myself as much as possible. I was missing Konda and I know I will make this for her soon.How to make French Style Cheese Omelette

      Though I don't eat eggs, this looks so nice. If every daughter starts eating eggs, I will surely make it for her.

      I love that thought Srivalli - no use of 'but'. Of course it will be tough but it's a good goal to aim for. We should stop trying to justify ourselves all the time! Way to go on that. Omelette au fromage looks absolutely gorgeous. I was just musing over tomorrow's breakfast. I have to try this one now.
