Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 tbsp whole milk, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted and foaming but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook gently for about 2 minutes, lifting edges occasionally with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Step 4: When the eggs begin to set but the surface is still slightly runny, sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese, 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley evenly over one half.
  5. Step 5: Carefully fold the omelette in half and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked but still tender.
  6. Step 6: Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
