Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup (diced) Ham
- 1 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
- 2 stalks (chopped) Scallions
- 0.5 cup (diced) Bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Once the butter is melted, add the diced bell pepper and chopped scallions to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to heat the ham thoroughly.
Spread the ham and vegetable mixture evenly across the skillet, then reduce the heat to medium-low.
Pour the egg mixture over the ham and vegetables, tilting the skillet slightly to ensure the mixture spreads evenly.
As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
When the top of the omelet is still slightly runny but mostly set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly across one half of the omelet.
Use the spatula to gently fold the other half of the omelet over the cheese-covered side. Press down lightly to seal.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt fully. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
