ELIZABETH DAVID

Elizabeth David was a worldly woman that used her passion for food to enrich the lives of many. In terms of local and seasonal she was the precursor to Alice Waters. One of her favorite meals is An Omelette and a Glass of Wine (and is also the title of one of her anthologies). -VW

OMELETTE MOLIÈRE
, David's French Provincial Cooking, 1960
This delicious omelette is called after a little restaurant in Avignon where I used often to eat very cheap and simple meals. This was one of my favourite dishes there.
Beat 1 tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan with 3 eggs. When the omelette is in the pan, add 1 tablespoon of very fresh Gruyère cheese cut into miniscule dice, and 1 tablespoon of thick
fresh cream. In a few seconds the Gruyère starts to melt and your omelette is ready. Fold it over, serve and eat it without delay.
