Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cups diced onion
- 0.5 cups diced bell pepper (red or green)
- 0.5 cups diced cooked ham
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet completely.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and slightly golden.
Add the diced cooked ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables and ham in the skillet.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across the top and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked through (the surface should look set and not runny).
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate or fold it in half before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
