Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the broiler and position a rack in the center of the oven about 8 inches from the heat.
Separate three large eggs. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with a pinch of salt.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Then whisk one-fourth of the egg whites into the yolks.
Fold the yolk mixture into the remaining whites until no streaks remain.
In an 8-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt 1-1/2 tablespoons butter. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and shake to evenly distribute.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup Gruyere all over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Broil the omelet for 3 minutes, until lightly browned and very puffy.
Garnish the omelet with herbs and carefully slide onto a plate, folding it in half. Serve right away.
