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
