Preparation
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and season thoroughly with salt and pepper.
Fold the grated Gruyère cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
Cooking
Melt half of the butter in a hot frying pan until foaming.
Pour in half of the egg mixture, stirring gently with a spatula to encourage coagulation.
Roll the omelette tightly using the edge of the pan, slice into three portions, and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately while the cheese is molten and hot.
Chef's Notes
For a higher cooking temperature without burning the fat, add a small splash of olive oil to the butter in the pan.
