Omelette
Beaten eggs cooked in butter and folded around themselves, left plain or with a little milk whisked in for a softer texture.
Where it comes from
Folding beaten egg around itself, instead of leaving it flat like a fried egg, turned a plain ingredient into something that could hide fillings and still cook fast.
What cooks argue about
Cooks argue over the French style, cooked gently and folded soft with barely any browning, against the diner style, cooked hotter until the outside browns and sets firm.
Versions
