In a large bowl, beat the eggs and water until well combined. Stir in the ham and set it aside.
Add the butter to a skillet and allow it to melt completely.
Add the whisked eggs to the skillet and cook without stirring. Cook over medium-low heat.
Once the edges start to set, push the edges towards the center so it gets nice and fluffy. This will give it volume.
Add the swiss cheese and season with salt and pepper. Carefully fold the omelet in half. Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh chives. Enjoy immediately.

Serve with ketchup or hot sauce for extra flavor and make sure to season the omelet generously with salt and pepper.
Feel free to add in some caramelized veggies and or crispy bacon.
Don't overcook the omelet.
Use a nonstick skillet so the omelet doesn't stick.
I like to add 1 tbsp of water to the eggs to make it extra creamy but some people prefer using whole milk or heavy cream. You can use whatever you prefer.
If your skillet is too hot the bottom of your omelet will brown too quickly and the top will remain undercooked and runny.
