Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the jambon ham into small pieces, grate the gruyere cheese, and finely chop the fresh chives.

  2. 2

    Beat the Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Butter

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it bubbles but does not brown.

  2. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few seconds until the edges start to set.

  3. 5

    Stir and Fold

    Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue this process for about 30 seconds until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.

  4. 6

    Add Fillings

    Sprinkle the chopped jambon ham, grated gruyere cheese, and chopped chives over one half of the omelette.

  5. 7

    Fold and Finish

    Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the fillings. Allow it to cook for another minute until the cheese is melted and the inside is creamy.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Omelette

    Gently slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve immediately, garnished with additional chives if desired.
