In a large mixing bowl, crack 5 whole eggs and separate an additional 3 egg whites, adding them to the bowl.
Add 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the eggs. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Dice 100 grams of lean cooked ham into small pieces.
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley finely and set aside for garnish.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with olive oil spray.
Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the diced ham evenly over half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, gently fold the opposite side of the omelet over the ham-covered half.
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
