Instructions

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with kosher salt, pepper, and water until well combined.
Heat an 8 to 10 inch stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until warmed. Check if preheated by sprinkling cold water in the pan; it should glide in droplets.
For a non-stick skillet, heat it just below high heat, ensuring the handle faces you. Add the butter and swirl to coat the pan completely until it becomes foamy, then pour in the eggs.
As a skin begins to form in about 10 to 15 seconds, add the cheese and any additional fillings in a line. Use a spatula to release the edge of the omelette and tilt the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, then roll the omelette over the cheese.
Cook for another 10 to 15 seconds until lightly set; the outside should be pale golden, and the inside creamy. If a firmer omelette is preferred, extend cooking slightly. Turn off the heat.
To serve, hold a plate with one hand, quickly invert the pan over it to let the omelette roll onto the plate, folding in a rolled shape. Serve right away.

Notes

Adjust cooking time based on personal preference for omelette doneness.
Experiment with different fillings like vegetables or herbs for added flavor.
Be careful not to overcook to maintain the creamy texture.
