   Meanwhile, with a whisk or fork, in a medium bowl, beat eggs, water, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper together until combined. In a 10-inch skillet, melt 1 Tbs butter over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes more or until eggs are cooked through but still moist, lifting and folding often to assure eggs cook evenly. Remove from heat; keep warm.
