6.Sprinkle remaining cheese over omelette; grill until browned lightly.
7.Toss remaining rocket and chives in oil and lemon juice. Serve omelette topped with rocket salad.

Gruyère is a hard-rind Swiss cheese with small holes and a nutty, slightly salty, flavour. It is a popular cheese for soufflés as it melts easily. Like a traditional soufflé, this soufflé omelette should be eaten straight away to prevent it sinking.
