Ingredients

1 onion
1/2 cup beef broth
1/8 tsp tarragon
1 dash ground black pepper
5 eggs
1 tbsp water

2 oz swiss or gruyere cheese

Steps

Thinly slice the onion and cook it in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
Add the beef broth, tarragon, and pepper, then simmer for 8 minutes until the onion is soft and the liquid is nearly gone.
Beat the eggs, water, and salt in a bowl until blended.
Divide the egg mixture between two 8-inch nonstick skillets over medium-low heat, cooking each until nearly set.
Add the onion mixture and cheese to each omelet, then fold and cook for 2 minutes until the eggs are firm and the cheese melts.
