Ingredients
3 large eggs
½ cup cubed ham, leftover or diced
1 tablespoon diced onion
1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon diced green bell pepper
½ to ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese or cheese of choice (American, Swiss, or Monterey Jack)
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt until well combined, and let them rest for about 5 minutes to enhance fluffiness (optional).
2. Heat butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sauté for about 2 to 4 minutes until softened.
4. Add cubed ham to the skillet, cooking for additional 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Pour beaten eggs over the sautéed mixture, gently pushing the edges toward the center while tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to fill the gaps.
6. Lower the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan to steam and cook the omelette thoroughly for 2 to 4 minutes.
7. Once nearly set, sprinkle cheese on one half of the omelette, then fold the omelette over.
8. Cover the pan again and let it sit off the heat for 1 to 2 minutes to melt the cheese.
9. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with sliced green onions.
