Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Seasonings

  • 4 fresh eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Vegetables

  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup tomatoes, chopped

Protein

  • 1/2 cup diced ham

Optional

  • 1/4 cup cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, feta, or your choice)
  • Olive oil or butter (1 tablespoon) for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop the bell peppers, spinach, onion, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces. Dice the ham evenly to ensure quick and even cooking. Proper preparation ensures a balanced and flavorful omelette.
  2. Sauté the Veggies and Ham: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell peppers first and cook until softened. Then add the diced ham and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the ham is warmed through, releasing a savory aroma.
  3. Beat and Season the Eggs: While the fillings cook, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper until frothy. This helps create an airy and tender omelette.
  4. Cook the Omelette Base: Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed veggies and ham in the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook gently until the eggs are mostly set but slightly runny on top, avoiding burning.
  5. Add Tomatoes and Cheese: Sprinkle the chopped tomatoes and your choice of cheese evenly over one half of the omelette to add juiciness and creamy richness.
  6. Fold and Finish Cooking: Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula, covering the fillings. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts completely and the eggs are fully cooked yet tender.
  7. Serve Warm: Slide the Loaded Veggie & Ham Omelette onto a plate and enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overcook the eggs to maintain a fluffy and moist omelette.
  • Pre-cooking the ham and veggies ensures even cooking and enhances flavors.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper to bring all ingredients together.
  • A non-stick skillet is recommended for easy flipping and folding without breaking the omelette.
