1
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the ham, bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Set aside.
2
Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Add Ham and Tomatoes
Add the diced ham and tomato to the skillet, stirring for another 2 minutes until heated through.
5
Cook the Omelet
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed ingredients in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
6
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar jack cheese over the top. Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula.
7
Finish Cooking
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

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