Steps:
- Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and green onions; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Set filling mixture aside in a small bowl and keep warm.
- Beat eggs together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 teaspoon butter; heat until foaming. Pour in eggs and cook for 30 seconds. Lift the edges of the omelet so that the uncooked egg runs under the cooked edges and comes into contact with the hot skillet. Shake and tilt the skillet to move the uncooked egg. Repeat until the top is set but still moist and soft, about 2 minutes.
- Spread the filling over one side of the omelet. Fold the other half over the filling and slide omelet onto a plate.

Steps:
- Add the eggs, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and the water to a medium bowl. Use a wire whisk or fork to beat until the whites and the yolks are completely combined, with no spots of egg white remaining. The mixture should flow off the whisk evenly. Let sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 9- or 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and green and red peppers, season with salt, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ham and cook until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a bowl.
- Wipe the skillet clean, then add the remaining tablespoon of butter and melt over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter starts to brown, then pour in the egg mixture. As the eggs start to set, use a rubber spatula to push from the edges toward the center of the pan. Tilt the pan as needed to let the uncooked eggs run under the cooked eggs. Continue until the eggs are mostly set, about 1 minute. The top should still look wet, but not runny.
- Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the vegetable mixture and cheese over half of the omelet. Cover the pan with a lid and let sit for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the omelet looks fluffy and cooked through.
- Run a rubber spatula around the edge of the pan to loosen the omelet. Gently fold in half, then slide onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
