Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
2 teaspoons butter
2 tablespoons grated extra-old Cheddar
2 tablespoons grated Gruyère
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
2 teaspoons finely chopped fine herbs, such as chives, tarragon and/or parsley
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Place a 7-or-8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Set the oven rack to the center position and heat the broiler to high.
Place the yolks into a medium bowl and the whites into a large metal or glass bowl. Add the salt to the whites and, using a metal whisk or hand mixer, whip up until foamy and they hold medium peaks. Set aside. Lightly whisk the egg yolks until slightly foamy. Using a metal spoon or large whisk, gently fold the yolks into the whites just until combined.
Melt the butter in the pan and gently pour in the eggs. Allow the omelette to cook for 1 minute. Gently sprinkle with all the cheese and transfer to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Gently fold the omelette in half and transfer to a plate. Scatter with the herbs, season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
