Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Place a 10-inch cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter, tilting to coat the bottom and sides.
Step 2
Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and chives until combined, about 30 seconds. Pour into the hot skillet.
Step 3
Scatter cheddar and gruyère evenly over the eggs. Let cook on the stovetop for 2 minutes without stirring until the bottom just starts to set.
Step 4
Slide the skillet into the oven and bake for 9–11 minutes until the top is set but the center jiggles slightly when you shake the pan.
Step 5
Remove from the oven. The edges should look golden and pull slightly from the skillet sides.
Step 6
Slide onto a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve hot.
