Instructions
- In a bowl, crack the eggs and season them with salt and black pepper. Beat well until fully combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced ham and chopped asparagus to the skillet.
- Cook the ham and asparagus for 3-4 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the ham is lightly browned.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, ensuring they spread evenly over the ham and asparagus. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set. Be careful not to overcook, as this could make the omelette dry.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve hot, and enjoy!
Tips
- For a lighter option, you can use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
- Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice, such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
- You can also use other types of cheese like feta or mozzarella.
