1
Prepare the Ingredients
Chop the thick cut smoked ham into small, bite-sized pieces. If using, chop the bell pepper and onion as well.
2
Beat the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add salt and black pepper. Whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

3
Heat the Pan
In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it is fully melted and begins to bubble.
4
Cook the Ham
Add the chopped smoked ham (and optional bell pepper and onion if using) to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the ham is slightly browned and the vegetables are tender.
5
Add the Eggs
Pour the beaten eggs over the ham mixture in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
6
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the omelet. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.
7
Fold and Serve
Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately.
