A simple to make French breakfast omelet that is a fun twist on the traditional American version. Its also rather fancy looking if you ask me.
In France you will find this beauty on the menu at some chic restaurants. It is usually served with a salad and easy vinaigrette. I like to make it for brunch with some fresh fruit, toasted French bread, and bacon. It is quite a treat! The best part being that it is very easy to make. The crunch of the potato chip is very texturally pleasing too.
Accompanying the chips is fresh chopped chives, garlic flakes, paprika, fresh cracked pepper, and I like to top with fresh grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
Let’s get started!
