In the last of three video tutorials, chef Michel Troisgros presents his Parmesan Soufflé Omelet, a modernized version of a traditional French meal. Chef Troisgros says the recipe is a family tradition because it is so light and elegant. A soufflé is a French word, which loosely means “puffed up.” It is a lightly baked cake of beaten egg whites mixed with custard. A properly prepared soufflé is light and fluffy. Chef Troisgros adds a special twist to the typical omelet by baking it, giving it a really pleasant texture. Samsung makes it easy with the Chef Collection kitchen appliances.

Chef’s Home Cooking Secrets with Samsung Chef Collection

A naturally gifted artist can create masterpieces, despite using primitive tools. For the many who will never receive accolades as a Michelin chef, the expertly designed Samsung Chef Collection makes feeling like one a little bit easier.

Collaborating with chefs who are among the best in the world gave Samsung insights into practical ways to improve kitchen appliances. The result is the four-piece premium kitchen appliance set, which includes the four-door refrigerator with Precise Chef Cooling, Flex Duo oven range, over-the-range microwave-hood, and WaterWall dishwasher.

Chef Troisgros emphasizes the importance of using the freshest eggs. The Chef Collection refrigerator has Precise Chef Cooling with minimal temperature fluctuation within the range of 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0.5 degrees Celsius) to ensure freshness. It includes two different sections that cool at different temperatures for the crispest produce and the juiciest meats, fish and poultry. Also included is a 3-in-1 Chef Pan that marinates, cooks and cleans.

The Recipe

Ingredients:

Preparation:

First, prepare eggs by separating whites and yolks. In a pot, bring milk and 60g of butter to a boil. In a large bowl, whisk eight egg yolks with 60g of flour until the dough is still light but firm. Gradually add the boiling milk and butter, whisking into the dough. Bring back to heat and mix until it is thick like custard. Set aside. Next, whisk three egg whites until stiff. Mix in yolks with whites with a rubber spatula. Fold while using very wide gestures to add more air, keeping whites very firm.

Omelet:

Melt butter into a pan. Pour the omelet mix into the pan until edges begin to crisp. Put in the oven and bake for four minutes at 400F. Move omelet from pan to a piece of parchment paper. Grate Parmesan cheese. Gently fold omelet in half. Grate more Parmesan cheese and orange zest.

Plating:

Place omelet and parchment paper on a plate. Place another plate face down on top of the first plate. Flip the plate over to transfer the omelet to the new plate without parchment paper. Finish by garnishing with more grated Parmesan.

In the second of three video tutorials, chef Daniel Boulud presents his take on a commonly simple breakfast dish, the omelet. For chef Boulud, the quintessential omelet is the omelet farcie. Farcie is a French word meaning stuffed. In this case, the omelet is stuffed with scrambled eggs, a preparation learned during apprenticeships in Lyon. What chef Boulud really loves about breakfast is the ability to create amazing dishes using just a few ingredients. In his version of the omelet farcie, he combines the smokiness of salmon with the sharpness of lemon zest.

The result is the four-piece premium kitchen appliance set, which includes the four-door refrigerator with Precise Chef Cooling, Flex Duo oven range, over-the-range microwave-hood, and WaterWall dishwasher.

Chef Boulud changes his menus based on seasonal ingredients, and that means keeping them as fresh as possible. The Chef Collection Refrigerator has Precise Chef Cooling with minimal temperature fluctuation within the range of 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0.5 degrees Celsius) to ensure freshness. It includes two different sections that cool at different temperatures for the crispest produce and the juiciest meats, fish and poultry. Also included is a 3-in-1 Chef Pan that marinates, cooks and cleans.

The Recipe

Ingredients:

Omelet Farcie:

First, prepare eggs in two separate bowls, five eggs for the outer omelet shell and three eggs for the scrambled egg stuffing. Season the omelet shell with salt and pepper. Using the Chef Collection range, set up a double boiler to make a scrambled egg stuffing. Sprinkle in the lemon zest and chopped chives while whisking. Set the egg scramble aside. Melt butter in a pan and add the omelet mixture. Chef Boulud’s tip for the best omelet is to stir the eggs until they begin to curdle, then let the omelet set. Once the omelet begins to set, add the chopped salmon. Spoon in the scrambled egg filling on one half of the omelet. Save a spoonful for plating. Using a rubber spatula, begin to fold one side of the omelet to the center. After folding one half, holding the handle of the pan, tap the pan at the handle with a fist to let the omelet roll to the other edge. Close the omelet using the rubber spatula.

Plating:

Slide the omelet from the pan to a plate. Slice a small opening in the center of the top side, filling with the remaining scrambled eggs. Top with caviar. Garnish with remaining sliced salmon and sprigs of chives.

Chef’s Home Cooking Secrets with Samsung Chef Collection

A naturally gifted artist can create masterpieces, despite using primitive tools. For the many who will never receive the accolades of a Michelin-starred chef, the expertly designed Samsung Chef Collection makes feeling like one a little bit easier.

Collaborating with chefs who are among the best in the world gave Samsung insights into practical ways to improve kitchen appliances. The result is the four-piece premium kitchen appliance set, which includes the four-door refrigerator with Precise Chef Cooling^TM, the Flex Duo^TM oven range, the over-the-counter microwave-hood and the WaterWall^TM dishwasher.

Chef Kostow believes the best dishes come from the freshest ingredients. The Chef Collection refrigerator has Precise Chef Cooling^TM for maximum freshness with minimal temperature fluctuation within the range of 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0.5 degrees Celsius). It includes two different sections that cool at different temperatures for the crispest produce and the juiciest meats, fish and poultry. Also included is a 3-in-1 chef pan that marinates, cooks and cleans.

The Recipe

Ingredients:

Steamed Omelet:

Start with eggs, whole milk and white soy sauce in a large bowl. Add milk powder. This will thicken the egg mix, giving a nice density to the steamed omelet. Whisk until all of the milk powder is dissolved. Using a pan lined with parchment paper, pour in the eggs. Put that pan inside a larger pan of simmering water. This will keep your omelet from cooking too fast or hard, allowing it to set like a light custard. Using your Chef Collection oven, bake for 20 min at 325F.

Beurre Monte with Roe Sauce:

A beurre monte is a French preparation of sauce made from melted butter. First, on your Chef Collection range top, reduce white wine and cream together, then add butter. Next add your trout roe, or caviar. Delicately fold everything together, being careful not to break the fish eggs. After finishing the sauce, use a pan to sauté the wild onions in oil.

Plating:

Slice the steamed omelet and add 4-5 slices per plate. Use a spoon to add beurre monte. Finally, garnish with wild onion.
