Western Omelet Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper, and sauté until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

2. 2

   Whisk the Eggs

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Cook the Omelet

   In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.

4. 4

   Add Filling

   Once the edges are set, add the ham, onion, and green pepper mixture evenly across one half of the omelet. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

5. 5

   Fold and Finish

   Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through. Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
