Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the green and red bell peppers, as well as the yellow onion, into small, uniform pieces.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk. Whisk together until fully combined, then season with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell peppers, onion, and cooked ham to the skillet. SautΓ© for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Remove the cooked vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling gently to spread it evenly across the surface.
Allow the eggs to cook without stirring until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Spoon the vegetable and ham mixture over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filled side. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the center is fully cooked.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Denver Omelet!
