Step 1:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Place dinner plates in oven to warm.
In a medium bowl, place eggs, water, salt, and coarsely ground black pepper.
With fork, beat 25 to 30 quick strokes to blend the mixture without making it fluffy.
(Overbeating toughens the proteins in the whites.)
Step 2:
In an 8-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter on medium heat.
When butter stops sizzling, pour or ladle 1/2 cup egg mixture into the skillet.
Step 3:
After egg mixture begins to set around the edges, about 25 to 30 seconds, with heat-safe spatula, carefully push cooked egg from side of skillet toward center, so uncooked egg can reach bottom part of the hot skillet.
Repeat 8 to 10 times around skillet, tilting as necessary, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
Step 4:
Cook until omelet is almost set but still creamy and moist on top.
Place skillet handle facing you, and sprinkle cheese and other fillings on half of the omelet.
Step 5:
With spatula, fold unfilled half over filling.
Step 6:
Shake pan gently to loosen any egg or filling from edge, then slide omelet to edge of the skillet.
Holding the skillet above your warm plate, tip skillet so omelet slides onto plate.
Keep warm in oven.
Repeat with remaining butter, egg mixture, and cheese.
Enjoy! ☺
