Lots-of-Herbs Omelette Stuffed with Brie

If you like your eggs more thoroughly cooked, pour them into an ovenproof sauté pan and cook as directed, then add the herbs and place the pan in a preheated 400°F oven until the eggs are completely set, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven, add the cheese and fold and serve as directed.
