French Omelet — 20

Production identity

Target finished yield

4 kg · approximately 20 portions at 200 g

Reference ratio

Finished mass ÷ declared primary-input basis (batch reference ratio): 100.0% (4 kg declared primary input → 4 kg finished target)

Total formula input

4 kg before trim, evaporation, absorption or transfer loss

Time

35 min active · 60 min total

Equipment

nonstick omelet pans · silicone spatulas · scale

U.S. major allergens intentionally present

Egg, Milk

Additional sensitivity note

None listed.

Holding / service

Cook to order and serve immediately. For a deliberately soft-set style, use pasteurized egg product and follow the operation’s approved food-safety plan.

Raw-animal-food control: where this formula includes raw animal food, use the current authority-approved cooking time/temperature and the venue’s approved procedure. Sensory doneness never substitutes for a required food-safety endpoint.

Formula — 1× target batch

Scaling table

Use the input-percentage column to audit transcription. The ½× and 2× columns scale ingredient mass only; process capacity must be revalidated.

Ingredient weights scale arithmetically; pan geometry, heat input, evaporation, fryer recovery, mixing shear, proofing/bake behavior and holding capacity do not. Revalidate process whenever batch size or equipment changes.

Method

1. Beat pasteurized egg only until whites and yolks are homogeneous; excessive aeration changes the classic fine curd.

2. Heat the pan moderately, add butter without browning, then add one measured egg portion and stir/shake continuously to create very small curds.

3. As the mass thickens, stop vigorous agitation while the surface remains moist; smooth it into an even layer without developing brown color.

4. Add the measured herb/cheese line if used, then roll/fold the omelet into a clean tapered cylinder using pan angle rather than brute spatula pressure.

5. Turn seam-side down onto the plate, brush with a trace of butter and send at once; the omelet has no holding phase.

Working numbers

• 20 × 200 g servings
• Pasteurized egg: 150 g/order
• Pan butter: 25 g/order
• No browning is the visual process standard for classical French style

Production verification

• Record actual finished batch weight before portioning; compare with target and investigate material variance.
• Record actual portion count and portion mass during service rather than inferring count from target yield.
• Verify current supplier labels for major allergens and document cross-contact limits of the actual station/equipment.
• Record the process/temperature checkpoints that are critical to this formula under the venue’s approved food-safety procedure.
• Taste or otherwise evaluate the formula at its actual service temperature and after the realistic hold/travel interval.

Batch record: target yield ____ · actual yield ____ · actual portions ____ · critical process checkpoints ____ · service hold ____ · waste/rework ____ · sensory result ____ · corrective action ____.

Sensory standard

Pale yellow exterior with no brown freckles, very fine tender curd, moist creamy center, clean egg/butter aroma.

Evaluate the control batch at pickup and again after the realistic handoff or hold. The written standard should describe the point at which the formula is still sellable and the point at which it must be remade, repurposed under an approved plan or discarded.

Version control

KECB professional training formula; validate local regulatory requirements, supplier specifications and venue procedures before production. A measured correction to the recipe becomes a documented formula revision after a controlled test; do not let different cooks maintain invisible personal versions.
