Vjeze’s perfect French omelet
When we heard that Instagram legend Vjeze Fur was going to release his own cookbook, ‘Lekker Fred’, we fervently hoped for one thing: the recipe for his perfect French omelet. Our prayers have been answered. And now we practice.

Freddy: ‘This dish is perfect for when you want to weigh one hundred kilograms! If you’re already fat, you’ve had plenty of practice and can make this omelet in ten minutes. If that’s not the case, allow an extra twenty minutes. Get enough eggs in the house in case it goes wrong (which is definitely going to happen).’
How to make it:
- Finely chop the chives and set aside.
- Beat the eggs with a splash of milk (or cream or water, whatever you like) and add a pinch of salt.
- Take a pan with a really good non-stick coating (without a good pan, it will never, ever work). Put the butter in the pan and let it melt over medium heat without browning. Add the eggs. Keep stirring and shake the pan back and forth well; it shouldn’t all start to set.
- When the top is still jiggly and moist, you need to fold it up. This is quite difficult and sometimes it goes wrong. But they’re eggs, not truffles. If it goes wrong, try again. Slide a spatula under the omelet and fold half of the omelet over. Repeat this with the other side.
- Put it on some toast and throw the chives over it. For extra indulgence, brush the omelet with a little butter.
