Have you ever made a korean-style tornado omelette?
Been making it since I was a kid in South Europe, only I like to add tomato and old sheep milk cheese which is crazy good with pepper and tomato .
Loove your channel and sence of humour !
Have you ever used the broiler to firm up the top of an omelet?
You need salsa, not ketchup on it.

"If you're from Europe and always wondered what American cheese actually was. Sorry, we're not sure." -- brilliant :-)
I'm sure that there's decent cheese over there. Somewhere. Germany has quite a bunch of different cheeses. Actually all countries in Europe have delicious cheeses. My favourite is Appenzeler sharf.
@John Everyman Even after two years, your answer is very welcome :-)
I'm not an expert on cheese, but I know what I like. Thing with cheese, wine, olive oil and a bunch of other products, is that the taste can change from year to year. That's the beauty of it. See, by trying to standize the taste, your left something bland that has a vague taste of the original. Tomatoes and strawberries, oranges, bananas. Etc
I don't think American cheese is food. Or, like so many things in this melting pot, it's been watered down until it's not good for much. It doesn't have any flavor.
@@updownstate I agree Diane, American standards have slipped.
Food standards have slipped, so American cheese has no flavour.
Spelling standards have slipped too...

You may not see this Chef John but you should know that you help me so much with my anxiety. I often can't eat when my anxiety is at its worst but you help remedy some of it. I can't thank you enough. Long time viewer, first-time complainer.
You're welcome! I struggle with that as well.
You are a sweetheart, Chef!
You must be fat. xD
Udhoi did you not get hugged enough as a child?
Grant Albert you should smoke weed. It helps with anxiety
I've always called it, _"The_ _John_ _Denver_ _Omelet"_ in my head. Whew, I feel much better now that's off my chest. Thank you.
..okay, it's all good!
Country rooooooaaaaads, take me hooooooome.
This is your fault.
Thank God you're a country boy.
Hi
I work as a Butler in the UK. I tried your Denver Omelette (with a little ketchup!)
Delicious. I cook for the family I look after and I’ll be cooking this for a lunch
sometime soon. 👍
Since you are Chef John would that make this a John Denver Omelet?
Only if you make it outdoors 😜
Ha!😂Ha!😂
Excellent! 😁
I'm doing this as a breakfast for dinner, and by dinner I mean lunch. lol never change
I learned how to make omelets by watching the cooks in the Army. That was the first time I’d ever had eggs any way other than scrambled. Though the omelet line was usually longer than I had time for so over easy became my go to, until I learned that over medium was a thing. I didn’t try making one though till I got out, but I was glad I had watched them. Other than trying my first one on high heat it turned out ok.
That omelet line was no joke! Semper Fi from the Marines
Like the way you inserted the spatula at an angle when flipping to keep the omlete from breaking. Old school cook trick. Nice 👍
This was my dinner tonight. Pure dining ecstacy. I rarely use butter with eggs and am usually too snooty to admit that I like American cheese, but with Chef John's blessings I used both. I confess that I didn't fold it as instructed. Instead I laid slices of fromage d'Amerique on top and slid it under the broiler to finish. This is the custom in my home country of North Carolina. It worked out real good, even without ketchup.
Not that there's anything wrong with ketchup. Some of my best friends use it.
My go-to for eggy dishes like the Denver Omelet is El Pato Red Chile Sauce. Just right. Not as sweet as ketchup and not vinegary as bottled hot sauce. Now you did it, Chef. I'm off to the kitchen to whip up (but not over whip) my own Denver Omelet. Using your method, of course.
In my 68 years, I've never made an omelet that way... but now I have to try it! I do most everything like yours, except that I set the meat/onion mix aside and cook just the eggs, then add the cheese. After that is done. I put the contents on one half of the omelet and fold it over. The veggies and meat are not "in" the egg, but it's more like an egg sandwich. Mom cooked them that way, and Moms are never wrong!
It refreshing to see something so very simple. I think that people often forget that the simple stuff is the most important to commit to skill.
I followed this technique to make breakfast for my boyfriend. He loved it. Thanks Chef John!
This looks really good... but my brain desperately wants some mushrooms and Swiss cheese in that. I freaking love a nice omelette with Swiss, ham, onion, and mushroom. But might try it the suggested way first, just to see.
That's ours, but switching in Cheddar and Colby-Jack instead of the Swiss. And you get the yummy cheese melted....
One of my favorites, my Father would make these for brunch on Sunday occasionally after church, as I grew up I learned garden, ham and cheese omelets, you taught me the french omelet which I am grateful for thanks for the video
Yum. I discovered this wonderful omelet while in boot camp. We had made it to the point of being able to order eggs to order. And I followed along with what seemed to be the omelet everyone else ordered. Have loved them since ‘87
Holy cow I was searching yesterday for this on CZcams, chef John answers prayers!
For omelets, egg scrambles and quiche, lightly caramelizing smoked diced ham develops another flavor dimension, rather than just warming it through.
I'm wondering why I slogged through the Covid years without the comfort of Chef John's velvety, supportive voice.
Although I'm a subscriber I neglected to click on the little bell for notifications. I am a fool!
The culinary wasteland of my Covid years is now a closed chapter in my life. Huzzah!
Chef John, I love your delivery of excellent dishes. And this presentation of the Denver omelette brought back great memories of my youth! After an evening together with pals spent at a Philly jazz club, we’d head for a neighborhood diner for a night-out closure. And a Denver omelette was a frequent choice. Ah to be young and hip back in the early fifties. Yep, that’s a lifetime ago! Thanks for your terrific presentations. Bob Campbell (90 and way out in the Pacific Northwest)
Been making this thing for years..never realized it had an official name. One of those random recipes I picked up from my family somewhere along the line.
It doesnt really have a name tbh. It exists all around the world in different countries. Saying it was made in denver or whatever is just wrong when it was made in my country before America even existed lol.
An omelette is an omelette
As far as the ketchup goes, with eggs, I've always been more of a hot sauce fan.
i do a hot sauce maple syrup mix
Michael Lay agreed. A little bit of Tobasco goes a long way
On a Denver omelet, my favorite topping is pico de gallo.
Usually I would agree, but ketchup is what we poured on what we called Western omelets back when I was a kid decades ago. What is really good is a spicy mango chutney.
For real, Sambal on omelettes is incredible.
Thank you for this video. Omelettes have eluded me for years and you just made it so simple.
Thank you for coming out and doing these videos. I am enjoying them.
Nice...I’ll will be making these, soon! Love it, I will add my homemade salsa!!!
It would be really cool to see Chef John do a Japanese style omelet since he's done French and American so far. They're supposed to be really difficult to make, but it'd be cool to see his take on it.
Very simple instructions!!! LOVE that!!! Looks delicious too! Will definitely try!!!
I learned this cooking at a coffee shop, while in Hiigh Scool, as well. Great story, peace.
Nice, it's inspired me to make an omelette with Chorizo and peppers!
You allways make hungry if I just finish eating 🖒👊👌
This is one of my favorite breakfast foods ever. Thanks Chef John!!
Denver, French, Parmalette! They are all great! You’re recipes are a delight to follow and duplicate! Being Keto is butter with Chef John!
I like a cook that gives you so many options as this omelet did! Thanks John I am looking forward to this. The main rule is try it this way first, before you start making changes that may ruin it. Thanks again John!
Ineluctable Smith that's chef john to you! Lo l 😊
Have your Denver, whenever.
So glad you're back Chef John! Always admire your great recipes and sense of humor :)
I just made my first omelette using your method. Delicious! Thank you!
I love Denver Omelets! Yours looked great, and making it looks like something I can do. Except ... no ketchup. I'd use Tabasco instead.
So how long ago was 15 year old Chef John living it up? 70s ? 80s?? 2011? WW1?
S Replay his full name is Chef John Quincy Adams, he has quite a past. You are after all, the Chef John of your homemade flan 🍮
At last a fellow Ketchup/Tomato Sauce fan. This is the most versatile condiment. Thanks Chef John
Yummy!!! This is my FAVORITE omelette!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. Love your videos very much.
You have a delightful sing-song cadence. Made me smile. Thanks for the recipe.
needs homefries or hashbrowns
Where's the crispy bacon? Darn!
Absolutely.
YES!
i actually recommend doing some campfire potato (potato onion garlic and butter on the grill wrapped in tinfoil) the night before then for breakfast reheat them in the frying pan till the sliced potato is crisp to your liking it is really good(plus you can add a little bit of cheese)
I’m so making this for breakfast tomorrow!! ❤️ Thanks! ✌🏻
I would love to have this as the first meal I cook. Thank you for sharing this recipe with me sir!
I'd love a waffle recipe since I got a waffle iron for Christmas. :)

I literally just made this for dinner. Didn't know it was a "Denver" omelette. Just thought it was an omelette. Lol. Regarding the ketchup, I'd much rather put hot sauce. Thanks for the vid!
I know what you mean. I've always known this as a pretty normal ham and cheese omelette... with ham and cheese omelettes being pretty much the default omelette. Onion and bell peppers were the normal additives for pretty much any omelette. Weird that after 50+ years it seems it has a specific name. I mean, other than descriptive... ham, cheese, steak, chicken, etc... with the catch all "Kitchen Sink" omelette. I do prefer salsa to ketchup on my eggs but it's no dealbreaker. My husband prefers ketchup, so we're even.
In Canada it’s called A Western, or a Toasted Western if it’s in a toasted sammich. 😁
It's not an omelette. It's a frittata.
Omg the commentery is horrible
Straight-up no-word-a-lie came looking for a quick and easy "breakfast for dinner" omelette recipe, and _of course_ Chef John knows what's up right from the kick-off.
Thanks Chef!
My husband makes this for me at all times of the day and I fall in love with him again each time 😊 so yummy. Can I tell you that you adding ketchup at the end gave me life. I thought I was the only one! You are awesome Chef John!
PLEASE DO A WAFFLE RECIPE!
which liege or brussels
Pumpkin waffles! Yum
Nah
ChocolateCake use Chef Steps ‘Crispy Yeasted Waffle’ recipe. Best I’ve ever made.
you could also use your favorite pancake recipe in a pinch
Is it me or does everything this guys says sounds like a question haaha had me 💀 💀

It is just you ;)
@@asseyez-vous6492 I know not a single dutch person that has english like this?
Sounds like yodas pacing, as if he way over edited the audio. CHOPPA egg audio
annoying
Chef John, I made your omelette this morning and it was delicious. Great way to start my day. I enjoy all your videos. You are a talented teacher, fun and entertaining. I have made several of your recipes with terrific results. Making one of the short rib dinners tonight (again). Thanks for sharing your techniques and advice with all your viewers.
Eggs, meat (often of dubious origin), and ketchup is one of my favorite things. Chef John, You are definitely my kind of Chef.
Could you substitute green peppers with jalapenos? What am I asking you for, I'm grown; I'll do whatever I want!
You've obviously never heard of The Pepper Police.
I hadn't considered them. I guess I'd better follow the recipe
Vacilando Nomada Yolo man, fuck the police.!
@shafta99 - LMAO
Yes you can! I put them in with the green peppers. Zing!! Perfect. And I use salsa instead of ketchup on mine.
Love your tips!!
And the stye!
Just the tip
I'm totally addicted to watching Food Wishes! wow great tips on techniques! awesome and I've made the buttermilk biscuit recipe which came out amaaaaaazing. soooo delicious and flaky.....I ate them ALL! you're the best Chef John!
Your receipes are awesome! I enjoy listening to your narration.
Wow so early
But that looks delicious
Ketchup on an omelette, yummmm.. I love the narration, as usual a nice vibe cooking with chef!😝
The Denver lends itself to adding ketchup, but sometimes salsa hits the spot.
Chef John, love your informative videos and great sense of humor. Thanks! I'm right here, in Denver.
Gonna try this now. ❤️ Thanks and God bless 😊🙏🏼❤️
I make those almost every morning ketchup is nice but salsa or hot sauce it great.
I’m so happy you put ketchup on it!!!!! You make everything so easy! I love your show! 😇
Chef John, fantastic as always.
Loved the guy who lent his voice for this video. Super cool.
Hmm av been Denvering my omelette since forever, yet am from the deep end of AFRICA! 😁
Could you do an episode on plating techniques please?
Rhys Hoskins it's all subjective man. Just make stuff look pretty but also accessible. Plating should not make the dish more difficult to eat. The goal is to make it look more appetizing. Like if you make a nice medium rare steak, pre slice it,thick, and possibly at an angle, and fan it out so your guests can see the beautiful pink hue in a half moon shape, then maybe put some potatoes in the center and on the opposite side lay out your vegetable.
Looked at a lot of Denver omelettes and this is the best, thx John
Top notch, once again thanks John. And that quip about American Cheese was funny as hell.
“If your from Europe and ever wondered what American cheese was, sorry we’re not sure either” 😂
my mans talking like he's reading a dr seuss book
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is what I came to the comments to see.
I've cooked 18 of the dishes Chef John has put on his channel. Every single one turned out just fine and I'm not the world's greatest cook. This dude is my Obi-Wan.
I truly enjoy listening to your voice & comments, & glad to Come accross you again!
I can't make omelets so I make Denver scrambled eggs :)
Because you are the Luther Vandross... of drenching your omelette in questionable red sauce.
I just made this and it was delicious. Thank you!
This story about your first recipe tugged at my heartstrings. I hope you share more personal stories in your videoa in the future. I remember the recipe that made me realize the joy of cooking. An herbal green lentil soup with goat cheese from France that I made when I was about 16. Now I'm 21. To this day, it's still my favorite recipe. I'll share it with you anytime Chef John.
Breakfast for lunch is brunch and breakfast for dinner is brinner!
and lunch for dinner is dunch
I love ketchup on eggs. Sorry not sorry.
This is how I made omelettes my whole life. Chef john you awesome you.
I made the Ben Franklin bowl yesterday and I'll make this tomorrow! Thanks, Chef John!
In before the title changes
Dominic Sear me too

And that's relevant how?
Did you get your trophy 'cause your response certainly deserves one. (sarcastic as hell) he says.
Or do you get thrills hijacking threads? All questions are rhetorical.
rip, its gone now
Me: "Mmmm... That looks really goo--"
*Chef John squirts ketchup on it*
"DAMMIT!"
The flavor combo with the green peppers, onion, and ketchup along with everything else goes quite nicely together.
cTo Overwatch, not for me, unfortunately. The ketchup and egg flavors don't jive very well for me. I do like to add some salsa every now and then, though.
I know right? Although I have to admit I hate ketchup on everything.
Salsa works. Or pair with biscuit & gravy, hot sauce over both.
I've never tried it on an omelette; but I like a nice sweet chilli on eggs, pepper salt and all
Love love love.. just the thing I was looking for!!
Gorgeous Denver omelette! I love Joan Jett! 🤠💓💞👑
Instead of green peppers ... use pablanos ... we do that at my Cali-casa😃
Do you just use raw poblanos? That could be a dumb question but I’m not the greatest cook 😑. It sounds really good though.
Poblanos *are* green peppers. Lots of chile peppers are green. Chef John used bell pepper.
Wutsizface I think I understand. Thanks!! 😊 I’m going to give it a try!
Brett Heppes maybe some jalepenos? Being a Coloradan, I know we like some spicy stuff! Or a little habenero for color and kickassness
Michael Dark yesssss that sounds so delicious! I have to stop watching these videos at night. I’m so hungry now
It's like you're sing talking... it's like every sentence ends with a cliff hanger... like .... ALL of your sentences ends with commas never periods..

His inflection is personally annoying to me.
Yep. I do green bells too. Nice job
Anyone here from Denver, CO? 😂

Me, and this omelet isn't a thing here, at least not more than normal. We're a breakfast burrito town.
Lol you literally ate the whole thing on camera
Haven't seen that one in a while
North American they do taste good 😊

Mmmm yummmm wow breakfast for dinner love it this would be also be a great Sunday brunch or even weekday lunch
Looks so delicious and easy to cook . Thanks for the video
Chefs add ketchup to their eggs too!?!?😂
How DARE you call Chef John fake? He is a national treasure and deserves our respect and admiration. If he says he likes motor oil on his omelets you at least give him the courtesy of trying it before you say it's not what you prefer!
Warrior Son you would be shocked at the some of the food faux pas that high level chiefs have as guilty food pleasures.
some places make me feel like a leper when I ask for ketchuo
Johnny Barfield Warrior Son has a point, usually French chefs or good chefs, never even keep ketchup around. It's a matter of preference. You can't convince all the viewers to like or appreciate Chef John as much as we do. That's called dictatorship and obviously we life in a country with so much freedom. Everybody can express their own feelings either we agree or not.
Thanks!
P.S. I like chef John but I also respect other people opiniòn and prerogatives.
xz8 xz8 I love chef John!! I found it funny though. I don’t add ketchup to my eggs but almost everyone I know does! Loves it!
Thanks Chef! Great technique.
Chef John, I HATE green peppers! But I took your advice and went with it anyway, and you were so right about that flavor balance. I love it! Thanks
Sriracha instead of ketchup for me.
Salsa and sour cream myself :)
Why not both? That´s what I do
Mate you need to put the emphasis in your syllables in a different spot
I find the delivery soothing. Don't make him give up his unique style :-)
Your voice rises and falls like a rollercoaster
Hats Off to Chef John....... I'm a much better cook than I thought I could be thanks to him....
