One of the most exquisite cuisines in the world is considered French. One has only to talk about French cuisine, as bright pictures immediately pop up: fresh croissants, crispy baguettes, cheeses, wines, truffles, the famous onion soup, ratatouille and, of course, the famous French desserts: creme brulee, eclairs, meringue, macaroons. This list can be continued indefinitely. However, there are less well-known French dishes for Russian housewives, which is the omelet of Mother Bullet. It originated on the northwest coast of France on a small rocky island-fortress of Mont Saint-Michel. Annette Pulyar, together with her husband, opened a hotel, there were enough guests, but there was nothing to feed them, since there were no stocks other than chicken eggs. According to legend, one of the hotel guests shared with Madame Poulard the recipe for this omelet. Annette first fried the omelet in a frying pan and then cooked it in the oven. Rumors about this unusual omelet quickly spread and gourmets from all over the country reached out to Mother Bullet. Tourists from all over the world still come to the hotel on the island of Mont Saint-Michel to taste the original omelet of Mother Bullet.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
