A hearty and colorful omelette featuring ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheese, perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk or water
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 1/4 cup diced ham
  • 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk (or water), salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add diced ham, bell pepper, and onion; sauté for 2–3 minutes until vegetables soften and ham warms through.
  4. Pour egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly over ham and veggies.
  5. As eggs begin to set, gently lift edges with a spatula, allowing any uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. When eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle cheese over one half of the omelette.
  7. Fold the omelette in half using the spatula and cook another 30 seconds to 1 minute until cheese melts and eggs are fully cooked.
  8. Slide omelette onto a plate and serve hot.

Notes

  • Customize with diced tomato or mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Substitute ham with cooked bacon, sausage, or a plant-based alternative.
  • Use your favorite cheese—Swiss, pepper jack, or mozzarella all work well.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid browning or overcooking.
  • For fluffier eggs, separate yolks and whites, beat whites until foamy, then fold yolks back in.
