Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces Diced lean ham
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the water, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
Once the skillet is hot, pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan to spread it evenly across the surface.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
