Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers red and green
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

Beat the Eggs:

  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.

Sauté the Veggies:

  • Heat the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Add the Ham:

  • Stir in the diced cooked ham. Let it warm through.

Pour in the Eggs:

  • Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed veggies and ham.

Cook the Omelet:

  • Let the eggs sit for a minute, then gently lift the cooked edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the edge of the pan.
  • When the eggs are nearly set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.

Fold and Serve:

  • Fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese.
  • Slide it onto a plate using a silicone spatula.

Garnish and Enjoy:

  • Serve your Western Omelet hot, garnished with additional diced bell peppers and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize your omelet by adding other ingredients like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or even a dash of hot sauce.
  • Pair it with toast, hash browns, or a side salad for a complete meal
