Western Omelet Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Chop the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Dice the ham into small pieces.

2. 2

   Whisk the Eggs

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

3. 3

   Cook the Vegetables

   In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell peppers, sautéing until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the Ham

   Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Pour in the Eggs

   Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed vegetables and ham in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set for a minute.

6. 6

   Add the Cheese

   Sprinkle the shredded cheddar jack cheese evenly over the top of the omelet.

7. 7

   Finish Cooking

   Using a spatula, gently fold one side of the omelet over the other. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

   Serve

   Slide the omelet onto a plate, cut in half if desired, and serve hot.
