Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 shallot, finely minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons minced fresh chives
3 tablespoons unsalted butter plus 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
8 large eggs, beaten
1 cup grated Gruyere
2 heads butter (Bibb) lettuce

Steps:

  • Combine the Dijon mustard, shallot and red wine vinegar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the olive oil and 3 tablespoons chives. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, add the eggs and the cold cubed butter, and begin to stir with a rubber spatula. Continue to stir until the eggs are half set, then reduce the heat to low.
  • When the omelette is soft, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with the cheese on one side. Let the omelette sit over low heat, without touching it, for 1 minute, to let the heat of the pan set the eggs. Roll the omelette over the cheese so it forms a jelly roll shape, then roll the whole omelette onto a large dish. Lightly spread the remaining tablespoon butter over the omelette to coat. Toss the lettuce with the vinaigrette and serve alongside the omelette. Garnish the omelette with the remaining tablespoon chives.

This omelette was amazing! The cheese was melted and gooey, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. I added some diced ham and onions, which gave it an extra burst of flavor. Definitely a new favorite recipe!

Not bad! The omelette was a bit bland, but the cheese was melted and gooey. I think I'll add some salt and pepper next time to give it more flavor.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The omelette was dry and the cheese was not melted evenly. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The omelette was okay, but the cheese was a bit too salty for my taste.

This recipe was a disaster! The omelette was burnt and the cheese was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! The omelette was a bit dry, but the cheese was melted and gooey. I think I'll add some more milk next time to make it creamier.
