Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is pale yellow and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foaming but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Pour the eggs into the skillet, swirling to evenly coat the bottom, and cook gently for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese evenly over the eggs.
  5. Step 5: Carefully fold one-third of the omelette over the fillings using a spatula, then fold again to form a tri-fold. Cook for another 30 seconds until the cheese melts and the omelette is softly set.
  6. Step 6: Slide the omelette onto a warm plate and serve immediately, savoring the delicate herbaceous aroma and creamy cheese melt.
