– American Omelet – Fluffy, fully cooked, and slightly browned.–
Texture
– French – Cooked gently over low heat with continuous stirring, then folded into a smooth, cylindrical shape.
– American – Cooked over medium heat without stirring, often flipped or folded in half.
Cooking Method
– French – Usually plain or with minimal ingredients like herbs or cheese, rolled tightly.
– American – Often loaded with cheese, veggies, and meats, folded into a half-moon shape.
