* 2 large free-range eggs
* 50 g ( 2 oz) gruyere cheese, grated
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
* Splash of cream or milk (optional)
* 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

===Method===
* Break the eggs into a bowl with the salt, pepper, milk and cheese
* Mix roughly with a knife. Don't whisk - it's nice to get some white and yolk only areas in the omelette
* Add the butter to a small frying pan
* When the butter is foaming add the mixture to the pan
* Fry for 2 minutes on this side, pulling the solid edges to the centre with a fork
* Flip over and fry for 1 minute on the other side
* Slide on to a warm serving plate, folding the omelette - the last bit of cooking is done one the plate this way
