Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 tsp Parmesan cheese
  • 12 leaves tarragon
  • 4 tbsp parsley
  • 4 tbsp chives
  • 16 tbsp Gruyère cheese
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

Steps

  1. Crack eggs into a bowl, beat lightly with a fork, then season with Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Chop all herbs.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter; it should bubble but not brown.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it bubble for a few seconds, then gently draw the cooked egg from the sides towards the center with a fork or spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  4. Continue stirring gently and intermittently until most of the egg is set but still moist and barely cooked on top.
  5. Shake the pan to ensure the omelette slides freely. Briefly increase heat to brown the underside slightly.
  6. Tilt the pan away from you, fold one-third of the omelette over, and roll it onto a plate.
  7. Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over the omelette to glaze. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs.
