Omelet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Dice the tomato, onion, and bell pepper into small pieces. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ham

    Chop the ham into small cubes.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Cook the Vegetables and Ham

    In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender. Then add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the Eggs

    Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked vegetables and ham, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs cover the entire surface.

  6. 6

    Cook the Omelet

    Allow the omelet to cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the edges start to set. If using cheese, sprinkle it on one half of the omelet.

  7. 7

    Fold and Serve

    Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate. Serve hot.
