Home Fries Ingredients

Toast Ingredients

Method

Omelet Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Whisk Eggs

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

  3. 3

    Cook Vegetables and Ham

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and ham, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs

    Pour the whisked eggs over the sautéed mixture in the skillet. Cook on low heat until the edges begin to set.

  5. 5

    Finish Cooking

    Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Once mostly set, fold the omelet in half and let it cook for another minute until fully cooked.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slide the omelet onto a plate and keep warm while preparing home fries.

Home Fries Directions

  1. 7

    Prepare Potatoes

    Dice the potatoes into small cubes, and soak them in cold water for about 15 minutes to remove excess starch.

  2. 8

    Cook Potatoes

    Drain and pat the potatoes dry. In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 9

    Add Onions and Seasoning

    Add the diced onion, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet with potatoes. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 10

    Serve

    Once cooked, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

Toast Directions

  1. 11

    Toast Bread

    While the omelet and home fries are cooking, toast the two slices of bread to your preferred crispness.

  2. 12

    Butter Toast

    Spread butter on the toasted bread while it is hot.
