Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup cooked ham, diced
- 0.5 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well blended and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Add the diced green and red bell peppers, and onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for an additional minute to heat it through.
Pour the beaten egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and ham. Gently stir with a spatula for the first 30 seconds to distribute the fillings evenly as the eggs start to set.
Let the omelette cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to firm up, and the center is still slightly soft.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Using a spatula, fold the other half of the omelette over the cheesy side. Allow it to cook for another minute so the cheese melts and the center sets to your desired consistency.
Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
