Ingredients

2 Servings
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • 0.5 cup green bell pepper
  • 0.5 cup ham
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 0.5 cup onion
  • 0.5 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 2
Heat the butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
Step 3
Add the ham, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables and ham.
Step 5
Cook without stirring until the eggs begin to set around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the skillet to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
Step 7
Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
Step 8
Fold the omelet in half and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set, about 1-2 minutes more.
Step 9
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
