“Christmas à la Countess @countessluann 💋Roberts, 32, wrote via Instagram on Monday, December 25. “Inspired by my new obsession #RHONY Legacy on @peacock (no ad) ❤️🎁🎄.”
The actress and her younger sister, Grace Nickelsfilmed themselves preparing their holiday breakfast.
“Merry Christmas, girls. This Christmas morning we make Luann [de Lesseps]’s Eggs à la Française’, Roberts began in the footage, documenting the cooking process. “Here we go, cracking the eggs for the famous Real Housewives’ Eggs à la Française. We try to share a kitchen with our mother [Kelly Cunningham]What a Merry Christmas for us, right?”
These Celebrities Love ‘The Real Housewives’
Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are self-proclaimed Real Housewives superfans – and they’re not the only ones. In July 2021, Minaj revealed via social media that she would like to host the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, which host Andy Cohen supported. “I want to see this!” he wrote in the comments section of Minaj’s post.

After whisking the eggs — which she said was an intense “arm workout” in itself — Roberts added a “dash of hot water” to lighten the finished product. Then she bought a pan to boil the eggs.
“Apparently the trick to making eggs à la Française [is a] wooden spoon [and] constantly evolving,” Roberts noted. “Luann loves the texture of her mashed potatoes [and] I like my eggs a little more cooked, but I don’t like to skimp on fluff.”

Of course, Roberts’ cooking video wouldn’t be complete without an impromptu performance of De Lesseps’ “Money Can’t Buy You Class” — and an explanation for her mother about the meaning of the routine.
De Lesseps, 58, was a fixture RHONY from seasons 1 to 13. She currently stars in the Bravo spin-off Real Housewives ultimate girls tripcalled “RHONY Legacy,” as many former NYC housewives took off on vacation to Turks and Caicos.

During her Bravo tenure, De Lesseps infamously offered Sonja Morgan Eggs à la Française during a heated moment on a cast trip. In the latest episode by UGT earlier this month, De Lesseps prepared the dish for her castmates.
“It seems like you’ve been doing this all your life, doesn’t it?” the lady chef told de Lesseps after tasting her recipe. “[It’s] the best eggs I have eaten in my entire life. Yes it’s true. I’ll have to have you with me every morning to make my eggs.
While De Lesseps was happy to impress a French chef with her cooking skills, Morgan has an alternative point of view.
“Someone needs to tell Luann that Eggs à la Française is just scrambled eggs,” 60-year-old Morgan joked in a confessional. “Because she likes to hear herself say: ‘I made à la Française.’ My mother makes the same one and she has never been to France.”
