Ingredients

Scale

Eggs & Dairy

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

Protein

  • 1/4 cup diced cooked ham

Seasonings & Fats

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the bell peppers, onions, and ham into small, evenly sized pieces. Wash and pat dry the spinach. Grate or slice your preferred cheese and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, then whisk thoroughly until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Cook the Vegetables and Ham: Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softened and beginning to caramelize. Add the ham and cook for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in the spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute, then remove this mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Pour and Cook the Eggs: Add a bit more butter or oil to the skillet if needed, then pour in the beaten eggs. Tilt the pan gently and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  4. Add Fillings and Cheese: Spread the veggie and ham mixture evenly over one side of the eggs. Sprinkle the cheese on top of the fillings, then cook for another minute or until the cheese begins to melt.
  5. Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelette in half to cover the filling. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to warm through and fully set the eggs. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately for best freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for a fluffier and more tender omelette.
  • Avoid overcooking to keep the omelette moist and soft.
  • Chop ingredients uniformly to ensure even cooking and balanced bites.
  • A non-stick pan facilitates easy flipping and folding.
  • Cook on medium to low heat to prevent browning and maintain a tender texture.
