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 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
