Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- 100 grams lean ham
- 0.5 medium bell pepper (any color)
- 0.25 medium onion
- 30 grams low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk well until fully combined and frothy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.
Dice the lean ham, bell pepper, and onion into small, even pieces.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they soften slightly.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove the cooked vegetables and ham from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs and egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the mixture evenly.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.
Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, ham, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelette over the filling to create a semicircle. Press gently to seal.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes to fully melt the cheese and ensure the eggs are cooked through.
Slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a plate, and serve immediately. Enjoy your high-protein Western omelette!
