Instructions

Place 1 Tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Once butter is melted, add the ham and cook until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the diced onion and peppers and continue to cook until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.

Season the veggies and ham before removing to a clean plate.

Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining butter.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk for 1 minute until light and frothy.

Once the butter is melted, pour in the egg mixture.

As the eggs cook, use a spatula to clean the edges of the eggs of the omelette. Jiggle the pan around to evenly distribute the eggs and ensure they cook fully.

Once the egg is no longer liquid, but still soft, sprinkle on the shredded cheese and place a large lid over the skillet to encourage the cheese to melt, about 1 minute.

Scoop the vegetables and ham mixture onto half of the omelette and then use a spatula to fold the empty half of the omlette overtop.

Continue to cook until omelette is well-browned on both sides, as desired.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cheese Melting Mastery 🧀
Grate your cheddar cheese cold and let it come to room temperature before adding to the omelette for smoother, more even melting.
Vegetable Prep Perfection 🔪
Dice green peppers and onions into uniform small pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the omelette.
Egg Whisking Technique 🥚
Whisk eggs with a splash of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy, which creates a lighter, more tender omelette texture.
Ham Browning Secret 🍖
Slightly crisp the ham in the pan before adding eggs to develop deeper flavor and add a delightful textural contrast.
Non-Stick Pan Magic 🍳
Use a well-seasoned cast iron or non-stick pan and just enough butter to prevent sticking while adding rich flavor.
