Savor a Hearty Breakfast with the Classic Western Omelette
Start your day off right with a delicious and filling Western Omelette!
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp butter or oil, divided
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced ham, green bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the ham is slightly browned. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
- Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the remaining tablespoon of butter or oil, heating it over medium-low heat.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the omelette, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow underneath. Continue this process until the omelette is almost set, but still a bit soft in the middle.
- Spread the cooked ham, bell pepper, and onion mixture over one half of the omelette. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
- Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, using a spatula to help guide it. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked through.
- Gently slide the Western Omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
