1
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all your ingredients: eggs, diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper. If using, chop the chives and dice the tomato.

2
Beat the Eggs
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to bubble, making sure it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
4
Cook the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
5
Add Ham and Cheese
Once the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, add the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese to one half of the omelet.
6
Fold the Omelet
Gently fold the other half of the omelet over the ham and cheese filling using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the omelet is cooked through.
7
Serve
Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve immediately with diced tomato on the side.
