Omelet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, bell pepper, and tomato. Slice the mushrooms and dice the ham.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Add Ham and Tomatoes

    Stir in the diced ham and tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Eggs

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

  5. 5

    Cook the Omelet

    Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and ham in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

  6. 6

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on one half of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese and cook for another 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Slide the omelet onto a plate and top with salsa before serving.
