Ham & Cheese Omelette
Serves 2
Ingredients
- 5-6 eggs, beaten, divided
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated, divided
- 3/4 cup ham, cubed, divided
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
- Pour milk into beaten eggs and whisk until frothy.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium pan or skillet over medium-high heat and pour half of egg mixture into the pan.
- Swirl pan so eggs evenly coat the bottom. Season with salt and pepper and let cook for 30 seconds.
- Gently push cooked egg to one side of the pan so that space frees up for uncooked egg. Let cook another 10-15 seconds.
- Sprinkle 1/2 of cheese on the more cooked portion of eggs and add 1/2 of cubed ham. Gently lift up the edge of the eggs so they don’t stick to the pan.
- Fold the now-cooked portion of eggs over onto the cheese and ham, and carefully slide the omelette onto serving plate.
- Continue with second omelette and remaining ingredients.
- Garnish with more cheese and ham.
