A French omelet is a test of technique rather than ingredients and that's exactly why it's a good thing to be taught live. No colour on it at all, constant movement in the pan, and out while it still looks slightly underdone. Everything I'd been doing was wrong: too hot, too still, too long. Chef Emily made everyone do it twice, and the second attempt was recognisably the real thing rather than scrambled egg folded in half.
