However the meals that I’ve seen talked about and even replicated probably the most on my social media feeds is an omelet Sydney makes for Natalie “Sugar” Berzatto (Abby Elliott) within the season’s penultimate episode, aptly titled “Omelette.”

What makes this omelet so hunger-inducing is the road of Boursin cheese piped down the center earlier than it will get rolled up after which a sprinkling of crushed bitter cream and onion potato chips — “The sort with the ridges,” Sydney specifies.
According to the show’s culinary producer, Courtney Storer, the Boursin Omelet With Potato Chips was impressed by chef Ludo Lefebvre’s Boursin omelet (sans potato chips). The omelet on the present begins with Sydney whisking the eggs by way of a mesh strainer. Whereas I’m loath to soiled the additional dish, straining the eggs achieves an especially easy texture with no streaks of egg whites or bubbles. Made within the French model, the omelet is cooked in order that the eggs don’t brown on the underside and are baveuse, or nonetheless moist on high.
The cheese melts into the eggs for an especially creamy middle like I’ve by no means had earlier than. Lefebvre recommends the cracked black pepper taste of Boursin within the recipe he shared on-line, however in my re-creation, I opted for the garlic and herb model to imitate the flavors of the potato chips. (Or you may use no matter taste of soppy, spreadable cheese that you just need to make the dish your individual. The present doesn’t specify which taste of cheese is used.)
Because of the cheese, the potato chips and a sprinkling of chives, the dish is filled with onion-y, herb taste with textural distinction between the creamy, supple omelet and the crisp chips.
“I may cry,” Natalie mentioned after taking her first chew.
Whereas the flavour of the omelet is scrumptious, what actually makes it particular is the care it represents, which is what nice hospitality is all about.
At this level within the sequence, Natalie is nicely into her being pregnant whereas additionally serving because the supervisor of the soon-to-reopen restaurant. Because the crew will get prepared for his or her family and friends debut, Natalie is trying the more severe for put on and says she hasn’t eaten. After initially turning down Sydney’s supply to make her one thing, Natalie asks for an omelet. Sydney sees somebody in clear want of nourishment and jumps on the probability to supply it.
This scene speaks to a part of what drew Sydney — and others each on the present and in actual life — to meals within the first place. Cooking and serving others might help foster a way of connection and satisfaction.
In a dialog with Carmy, Sydney calls the act of constructing an omelet for Natalie one of the best a part of her day.
“You want caring for individuals,” he responds.
