Doing omelets on an electric stove is a little difficult, in addition to the difficulty of getting cheese or jam to heat up/melt when you add it to the top of an omelet which already is not quite done, and cold. So

French masse in scene (sp), these only take a minute or two, so have everything right in front of you, and ready to go. You can do three of them in 5-6 minutes, less if the heat is on higher.

Use a non-stick saute 10" pan, sloped sides. heat of medhigh (dimension is all over)

Add butter, melt, wait for it to just start to brown

Add two lightly beaten eggs (no more, make more omelets if you want more)
tip the pan back and forth, I use a silicon hi temp spatula, spilling uncooked egg to the sides, until it is mostly done except for the top

as soon as it is 'strong' enough, using as large a metal spatula as fits in the pan, flip the omelet

Add grated cheese, or sugar free jam to one side of a midline of the omelet

after 10-20 seconds fold half the omelet over the cheese/ jam side.
