Omelet Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well blended.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ham

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced Virginia ham and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 3

    Add Eggs

    Pour the egg mixture over the ham in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, allowing the edges to set.

  4. 4

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top of the eggs. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.

  5. 5

    Fold and Serve

    Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half. Slide it onto a plate and serve hot.
