Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup unsalted cooked ham, diced
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons skim milk
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the skim milk. Beat the eggs and milk together until well combined and slightly foamy. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
Add the diced red and green bell peppers and chopped onion to the skillet. Saute for about 4 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Add the diced unsalted cooked ham to the vegetable mix and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the ham to warm up.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and ham in the skillet. Allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently push the cooked portions of the egg from the edges toward the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edge.
Continue cooking and gently stirring until the eggs are basically set but still moist. Sprinkle the fresh ground black pepper and chopped parsley over the omelette.
Fold the omelette in half and let it cook for another 1 minute to ensure the center is set.
Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
