Omelet Base

Method

Omelet Preparation

  1. 1

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a medium bowl, crack the 3 large eggs and add 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat the Pan

    Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Cook the Omelet

    Once the butter is melted and bubbling, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

Adding the Fillings

  1. 4

    Add the Ham

    Evenly distribute 1 cup of thick cut smoked ham over one half of the omelet as it cooks.

  2. 5

    Add the Cheese

    Sprinkle 1 cup of American cheese over the ham on the omelet. Allow it to melt slightly for about 1-2 minutes.

  3. 6

    Fold the Omelet

    Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the fillings. Allow it to cook for an additional minute to ensure the cheese is fully melted.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Omelet

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