Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup cooked ham
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Dice the cooked ham, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion into small pieces, keeping them uniform in size.
In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the diced ham and heat for an additional 2 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the water, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Remove the vegetable and ham mixture from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet. Swirl the skillet gently to distribute the eggs evenly across the bottom. Cook over medium-low heat until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
Once the bottom is set, carefully lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until the top of the omelette is almost set but still slightly runny.
Evenly spread the ham and vegetable mixture over one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over to cover the filling using a spatula.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the omelette is heated through.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and serve hot.
