If using dried cèpes, rehydrate them in warm water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well, reserving the soaking liquid. Chop coarsely.
Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl with the water, salt, and white pepper. Do not over-whisk; the mixture should be just combined.
Heat the duck fat in a small, non-stick omelette pan over medium heat. Add the chopped cèpes and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. If using the reserved soaking liquid, add a tablespoon or two to deglaze the pan and intensify the mushroom flavor. Remove the mushrooms from the pan and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt completely. The pan should be hot enough to cook the egg quickly, but not so hot that it browns.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about 15-20 seconds, until a thin layer of cooked egg forms around the edges.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat this process until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny in the center.
Sprinkle the sautéed cèpes evenly over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
Gently fold the omelette in half, using the spatula to help guide it. Slide the omelette onto a warmed plate, seam-side down.
Serve immediately. For an extra touch of elegance, brush the top of the omelette with a little melted butter.
