    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, fines herbes, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

    Cook the Omelet

    In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to set.

    Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese over one half of the omelet. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half over the cheese and let cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
