directions
- In a small nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.

- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, water, salt, and pepper together.
- Heat an 8-inch omelet pan over medium heat.

- When the butter foams, pour in the egg mixture all at once.
- Let sit until edges begin to cook, about 20 seconds.

I made a few changes in this recipe since there were 2 of us & I'm not fond of cooked mushrooms! & added an extra egg to the omelet mixture, & left the other ingredients as given! Then, I added the chopped mushrooms to the onion & ham when there was only about 2 minutes of cooking time left! And, since we each had a very large smoothie to go with the meal, half of the omelet was just right for each of us! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in the Bargain Basement tag game]
