Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Veggies & Protein

  • 1/4 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach

Cheese

  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Dice the ham and chop all vegetables into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and ease of folding the omelette later.
  2. Sauté the Veggies and Ham: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions, bell peppers, and ham, cooking until vegetables soften and ham starts to brown, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the spinach last and allow it to wilt.
  3. Beat the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy for a light and fluffy omelette.
  4. Pour Eggs and Cook: Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs evenly over the sautéed mixture, tilting the pan to cover all ingredients. Let it cook gently without stirring.
  5. Add Cheese and Fold: When the eggs begin to set but the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle cheese evenly over the surface. Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and cook for another minute until the cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan to ensure easy folding and prevent sticking.
  • Keep heat low to avoid overcooking and maintain a tender omelette texture.
  • Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Chop veggies and ham ahead of time to save preparation time in the morning.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning gradually with salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
