2. 2

   In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the water, and salt and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   In an 8-inch skillet, preferably non-stick, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides, pour in half the egg mixture, tilting the skillet to spread the mixture evenly over the bottom, and cook it for 1 minute, or until it is almost set.

   Fold the omelet over the filling, transfer it to a plate, and keep it warm.

   Make another omelet in the same manner with the remaining butter, egg mixture, bacon, avocado, and Monterey Jack and serve the omelets with the salsa.
