Sauté the Vegetables and Ham
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced Maui onion and bell peppers, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are softened. Add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes until heated through. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Omelette
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Pour in the egg mixture and allow it to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Once the omelette is almost set but still slightly runny on top, evenly distribute the sautéed vegetables and ham mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the filling.
