Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs. Add the salt, black pepper, and milk. Whisk together until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In a separate bowl, combine the diced ham and shredded American cheese. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it's bubbling but not browned.

  2. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges of the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top.

  3. 5

    Add the Filling

    Once the eggs are mostly set, evenly distribute the diced ham and American cheese over one half of the omelet.

  4. 6

    Fold and Finish Cooking

    Using the spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half over the filling. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to cook through.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Gently slide the omelet onto a plate. Cut in half if desired and serve hot.
