1
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the country ham into small pieces and set aside. Grate the cheddar jack cheese if not pre-shredded. Chop the chives if using.
2
Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add salt and black pepper, and whisk again to incorporate.

3
Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow the butter to melt and start bubbling, but do not let it brown.
4
Cook the Omelet
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
5
Add Filling
Once the edges of the omelet are set, sprinkle the diced country ham and shredded cheddar jack cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
6
Fold and Finish Cooking
Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully cooked.
7
Plate and Garnish
Slide the omelet onto a plate. If desired, sprinkle chopped chives on top for garnish before serving.
