The recipe is simple. Use 2-3 eggs per person. Add 1/2 teaspoon of water per egg (never use milk). Whip with wire whisk until frothy. Heat frying pan over medium heat. Add butter to cover. Pour egg mixture into pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Using a spatula, push bottoms of eggs from edges to center as they set, allowing liquid to get to bottom of pan. Continue until eggs are completely set (how dry or wet depends on taste). Add salt (do not add before eggs are set) and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or cover and keep warm over low heat.
Note: Sauteed onions, peppers, and/or mushrooms can be added to the eggs before cooking. Grated cheese may also be added, but will make the eggs heavier.
