Ingredients

• Eggs: Rich in protein; heart of the omelette; creamy texture.
• Ham: Adds savory flavor; source of protein; enhances taste.
• Green Bell Pepper: Provides crunch; rich in vitamins; adds color.
• Onion: Sweet, tangy bite; contains antioxidants; boosts flavor.
• Cheddar Cheese: Melts for creaminess; rich in calcium; adds sharp taste.

Ingredient Quantities

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup diced cooked ham
• 1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter

How to Make this

1. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until you have an evenly mixed and slightly frothy liquid.

2. In a non-stick skillet, medium heat and butter are combined to melt, evenly coating the skillet while melting. The result is desired in the pan for cooking.

3. Combine the chopped onion and green bell pepper in the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft and the onion is translucent.

4. Stir in the cooked ham, diced, and cook an additional 1-2 minutes to warm it through.

5. Evenly distribute the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and ham in the skillet.

6. Permit the eggs to cook without disturbance for 1-2 minutes until the borders start to firm up.

7. Use a spatula to carefully raise the edges of the omelet, letting the uncooked eggs seep down and out toward the edges.

8. After the eggs are nearly cooked, scatter the shredded cheddar cheese across one half of the omelette.

9. Using a spatula, fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese side.

10. For another 1-2 minutes, cook, or until melted is the cheese and firm is the omelette. Slide onto a plate and serve immediately.
