American · Main course · 20 min total

A classic American diner-style omelette filled with ham, bell pepper, and onion, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup diced cooked ham
• 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons diced onion
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
2. Melt butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ham, bell pepper, and onion; sauté until vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.
3. Pour egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook without stirring until edges are set, about 2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelette. Using a spatula, fold the other half over the cheese. Cook 1 minute more, then slide onto a plate.

Tips

• For a fluffier omelette, add a pinch of baking powder to the egg mixture.
• Use leftover ham or deli ham for convenience.
• Serve with toast or hash browns.
