Ingredients

8 Large eggs
1/4 cup Water
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
4 teaspoons Unsalted butter
4 ounces Grated cheddar cheese (1 cup)

Preparation

1. Whisk eggs, water, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.

2. Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add scant 1/2 cup of the egg mixture and cook 1 minute until slightly set. Lift edges of omelet with a heatproof spatula; tilt pan to let uncooked egg flow underneath. Cook just until eggs are set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the cheese over half of the omelet. Fold the omelet to enclose the cheese; transfer to serving plate. Repeat with remaining egg mixture, butter and cheese.
