With the French omelet, the standard is to whisk about two eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper, which are normally cooked in a buttered pan by shaking the pan, as well as stirring the eggs. The French Omelette is slightly runny, extremely soft, and buttery!! Additionally, it is usually filled with tomatoes and herbs, such as chives, parsley, and chervil.
