Country Ham Omelet Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Caramelize the Onions

   In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Ham

   In the same skillet, add the diced country ham and cook for about 3-4 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside with the onions.

3. 3

   Prepare the Omelet

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat, ensuring it coats the skillet.

4. 4

   Cook the Eggs

   Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, until the edges begin to set.

5. 5

   Add Fillings

   Once the edges are set, use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelet, tilting the skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges. After about 2 more minutes, when the top is still slightly runny, sprinkle the caramelized onions, cooked ham, and cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.

6. 6

   Finish the Omelet

   Fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings. Cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
