An omelet made with just egg yolks was the unlikely center of a celebrity row this week, but how does the dish really taste?

After James Corden was forced to apologize to Balthazar manager Keith McNally after he was “rude” in complaining that his wife Julia Carey’s egg yolk dish contained traces of egg whites, which she is “allergic” to, FEMAIL decided that preparing your own dish to find out what all the fuss was about.

Corden was forced to apologize on The Late Late Show, where he explained he and his wife had sent the dish back three times after finding traces of egg yolk on the plate – but according to nutritionist Reema Patel it’s ‘impossible’ to completely separate the two parts of an egg.

But is an egg yolk omelet really worth all that controversy? I made a version of the dish for myself to find out…

After James Corden came under fire for his “very rude” complaint to Balthazar staff when his wife, who is “severely allergic” to egg whites, was allegedly given an omelet containing the ingredient, FEMAIL decided to investigate how difficult it is to create it the dish

Seasoned with salt and pepper and simmered in copious amounts of butter, the egg yolk omelet took little more than a minute to cook

While I’m not the biggest fan of omelets, I was commissioned to recreate the egg yolk omelette Balthazar made for Julia Carey on the day of the incident that led to her husband’s ban from the brasserie.

I don’t think I’ve ever followed an omelet recipe before in my life, and I didn’t want to start with that today, so I decided to use a method similar to what I would use for scrambled eggs – the eggs themselves (No white wine of course), salt and pepper, chives for a little flavor and lots of butter.

I used five eggs for the recipe, mainly because I accidentally split the yolk of the sixth, making it useless for this experiment. Then I set about separating the yolks as best I could.

Instead of twisting the yolk between two pieces of shell, I used a technique I’d picked up from years of watching James Martin cooking shows and poured the whole egg into my hands, letting the egg white fall between the gaps in my fingers and into a bowl .

Before pouring the egg mixture into the pan, I added a generous amount of butter, melted until sizzling

Julia had ordered an egg yolk omelette and told the staff she wanted it without the egg white because she was allergic, but sent the plate back when the dish arrived with the egg white in it. The last straw was when the newly made omelet was shipped with a side of homemade fries instead of salad

For the most part it works pretty well and it’s a method I’ve used successfully to make custard over the years.

However, it’s safe to say that this isn’t a method that completely and completely removes every trace of egg white, with at least a small drop of the material sticking to the yolk as it falls into the bowl. Our nutritionist was definitely right.

After separating my yolks, I started beating and was surprised at how thick the mixture was. After already losing an egg yolk to my clumsiness and knowing I had to make a decent meal, I decided to improvise.

In the extensive research I did before starting my experiment, I had read that it is possible to add a little water to an egg yolk mixture to make it a bit more viscous (which I was hoping would go a little further) . . I added about two teaspoons of water to the bowl before whisking vigorously to combine.

On the side, I finely chopped a small handful of chives to add some flavor to my omelette. Although cheese is usually the accompaniment of choice when it comes to omelettes, we didn’t want to compromise the overall texture of the dish, so chives would have to do.

The omelette didn’t take long in the pan at all and was cooked in seconds while bubbling

Following further advice from James Martin, I added a generous helping of butter to a pan over medium-high heat and let it melt until it was bubbling. Meanwhile, I seasoned the egg mixture in the bowl.

When the butter was ready I added the egg mixture and turned the heat down so it bubbled nicely. While it was cooking, I sprinkled the chopped chives on top.

It took little over a minute to finish, at which point I folded it up and dumped it straight onto a plate. It was time to taste my creation.

Overall the flavor wasn’t bad and maybe better than a traditional omelette as the yolk, which contains most of the fat, allowed for a rich, silky flavor. The chives added some bite, and I don’t think anything can taste off when cooked in that much butter.

The texture was slightly unusual, with the omelet feeling chewy and spongy than one made with a full egg. However, it was very enjoyable to eat and overall I think I did a decent job.

One thing I noticed throughout the process was that although I could see tiny traces of egg white in the yolk when I first separated them, from the moment I slapped it all together I couldn’t recognized – which could be dangerous for allergy sufferers.

Nutritionist Reema said: “If someone is allergic to egg whites but not to the yolk, eating an egg yolk omelet is strongly discouraged.

“That’s because it’s not possible to separate the albumen from the yolk – which leads to contamination. Even the smallest protein can trigger an immune response that can be harmful.”

Nonetheless, if you don’t have allergies, it was a perfect dish – and the good news is I can easily whip up a meringue for dessert.

The attack took place in Shiraz. Tensions in Iran are still very high since the death of Masha Amini and the large protest movement that rocked the country.

At least 15 people were killed and 10 others wounded in an attack on a Shiite shrine in Shiraz, Shah Cheragh, in southern Iran on Wednesday, Iran’s Irna News Agency reports.

The agency said the three attackers, who opened fire on worshipers and security forces from a car, were “takfiri terrorists,” the term used for fighters from Sunni extremist groups like Islamic State. Two of them were arrested, the third is still being sought, the police said.

According to another Iranian outlet, Nour, they are not Iranian nationals. This attack on the Shah Tcheragh shrine in Shiraz took place while numerous demonstrations were being organized in Iran to mark the fortieth anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death, at the origin of the protest movement that is rocking Iran.

A new video released by Singapore-based TV channel Channel News Asia puts in a different light what happened on Saturday 22nd October at the conclusion of the XX. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Congress happened. The official Xinhua News Agency reported that Hu Jintao’s unexpected departure was caused by health problems, but pictures released on Tuesday provide a new insight into what happened. While they don’t entirely deny the official line that the ex-president was dismissed due to illness, they do suggest that the package of documents in front of him played a role in the incident.

The video begins with Jintao’s neighbor on the podium of the Great Hall of the People, Li Zhanshu, taking a document from his hands and putting it back under a red cover, the kind found in front of all other top leaders while he is with Who argues.

A thread on key moments:

First he leaves the documents in front of the confused-looking former leader. Then, perhaps worried that Hu might try to pull the document out again, Zhanshu pulls the stack of papers towards him and holds it in his hand.

Xi Jinping glances to the side of the stage, most likely to ask someone for help, as a senior assistant approaches and speaks to him briefly before walking away.

Li Zhanshu continues talking to Hu Jintao while Xi looks straight ahead with his eyes fixed. The young assistant, who will soon escort Hu off the stage, comes in, talks to Hu and Li for a moment, then goes and talks a little more with Xi.

At this point, the film shows the images that we have all already seen. The assistant takes former President Jintao’s arm to help him stand up. At the exit, Hu tries to take Xi Jinping’s notes that were on the table between them, but Xi raises his hand and holds the papers.

It is unclear whether this is actually a political purge. In the video, Hu Jintao appears confused – which would confirm his alleged health problem – but at the same time he doesn’t seem to want to leave when asked to get up. In addition, footage of the incident was not broadcast in China, and the names of the former president and his son Hu Haifeng were censored on the internet within the country’s Great Firewall. What is certain is that Hu Jintao’s departure carries political weight and has a humiliating effect on the former president’s figure, while Xi Jinping emerges strengthened. Prominent on the stage, like now in Chinese politics.

China on Tuesday successfully completed flight tests of the Scorpion D, the world’s first four-engine transport drone developed by Tengdun Science and Technology.

A beauty pageant to select the first Miss Sri Lanka, held on Staten Island in New York, United States, ended in a general brawl last Friday (21).

Organizers created the competition to raise funds for the country’s national cancer hospital, which is suffering from a shortage of medicines and equipment amid an economic crisis. However, the event with 300 guests did not end as planned.

The confusion involved both men and women, who exchanged punches and kicks at the afterparty.

Videos of the fight went viral on social media. The recording shows a woman in confusion wearing a beauty pageant crown, but her identity is unclear. It is known that Angelia Gunasekara was crowned Miss Sri Lanka New York.

While it’s unclear what prompted the riot at the event, the altercation resulted in property damage and multiple arrests. Sri Lankans took to social media to express their disappointment at those involved, denouncing the behavior and saying it would tarnish the country’s image in the US.

One of the contest’s organizers, Sujani Fernando, told the New York Post that none of the contestants were involved in the confusion. This is because all 14 models would be inside the building while the combat was taking place outside.

Another beauty pageant in Sri Lanka ended in confusion last year. One attendee left the event in handcuffs after ripping the crown from another woman’s head. The reason given is that she did not deserve the award for her divorce, rule of the event regulations.
