Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces eggs
- 1 slice ham
- 1 small tomato
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.
Dice the ham into small cubes. Chop the tomato into small pieces and, if using, finely chop the chives.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Swirl the pan so the butter evenly coats the surface.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the ham to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham starts to brown slightly.
Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the tomato softens slightly.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and tomato, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the mixture.
Let the omelet cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Once the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft in the center, sprinkle the optional chopped chives on top.
Gently fold the omelet in half using the spatula. Continue cooking for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your desired level of doneness.
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Pair it with toast or a side salad for a complete meal.
