Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 medium, diced Green bell pepper
- 0.5 medium, diced Red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium, diced Onion
- 2 oz, diced Lean cooked ham
- 0.25 cup, shredded Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until well blended.
Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the diced green and red bell peppers, along with the onion, to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they are softened.
Add the diced lean cooked ham to the skillet and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and ham mixture in the skillet.
As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula and tilt the pan so that the uncooked eggs can flow to the edges.
Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
Fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese and allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked through.
Remove the omelette from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve immediately.
