In a medium bowl, whisk together the lightly beaten eggs, water or milk, salt, and freshly ground white pepper until blended.

Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring gently with a fork, until the eggs begin to set but are still slightly wet on top.

Note
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor contrast with the salty Roquefort cheese.
Ensure the pan is hot before adding the butter to prevent sticking and to achieve a nice sear on the apples.
Do not overcook the eggs; they should remain slightly moist inside for a tender omelet.
Serve immediately while the omelet is hot and the apples are still crisp.
If you prefer a milder cheese flavor, you can reduce the amount of Roquefort or mix it with a milder cheese like goat cheese.
