Description

A hearty and flavorful Western Omelette filled with ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheese, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well blended.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced ham, bell peppers, and onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, making sure it spreads evenly.
  5. Cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges to let uncooked eggs flow underneath.
  6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
  7. Once the eggs are mostly set, fold the omelette in half over the cheese.
  8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted and eggs are fully set.
  9. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use any colored bell peppers you prefer or have on hand.
  • Feel free to substitute turkey or bacon for ham.
  • For a spicier version, add jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
