Gather @gruyère cheese{60%g}, @fresh chives{0.3%bunch}, @fresh parsley{0.2%bunch} and @black pepper{}.

Crack the eggs into a bowl with a pinch of @salt{} and beat briskly with a fork for a full 30 seconds, until the whites and yolks are completely one color with no streaks. ~{30%seconds}

Melt the @butter{20%g} in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the sides, until it foams but hasn't browned.

Pour in the eggs all at once. As the edges begin to set, drag the cooked @egg{6} toward the center with a fork, tilting the pan so raw egg runs into the gaps. ~{20%seconds}

Once the eggs are mostly set but still glossy on top, scatter the gruyère and half the chives across the center.

Tilt the pan away from you and use the fork to roll the omelette over on itself into a tight oval, finishing seam-side down.

Slide onto a plate, scatter with the remaining chives and parsley, and serve immediately while the center is still soft.
