Denver Omelet Recipe

Omelet Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Dice the ham, bell peppers, and onion into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

2. 2

   Whisk the Eggs

   In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the diced onion and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are tender.

4. 4

   Add the Ham

   Stir in the diced ham and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the ham is heated through.

5. 5

   Combine with Eggs

   Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables and ham in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the mixture evenly.

6. 6

   Cook the Omelet

   Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to lift the edges and allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.

7. 7

   Add the Cheese

   Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelet.

8. 8

   Fold and Serve

   Carefully fold the omelet in half and let it cook for another minute to allow the cheese to melt. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot.
