Western Omelet

Here’s a simple and delicious Western Omelet recipe:

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
• 1 tbsp butter or cooking oil
• ¼ cup diced ham
• ¼ cup green bell pepper, diced
• ¼ cup red bell pepper, diced
• ¼ cup onion, diced
• ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep the Ingredients: Dice the ham, bell peppers, and onion. Set them aside.
2. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk (if using) together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Sauté the Vegetables and Ham:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the butter or oil to the skillet.
   • Add the diced ham, green and red bell peppers, and onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the ham is slightly browned. Remove the ham and veggies from the skillet and set aside.
4. Cook the Eggs:
   • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them cook for 1-2 minutes, gently pushing the edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.
   • When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, add the sautéed ham and vegetables to one side of the omelet.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the ham and veggies.
6. Fold and Finish: Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts and the eggs are fully set.
7. Serve: Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot. You can garnish with fresh herbs or more cheese if you like.
