Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring the oil coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
- Add the diced ham and chopped broccoli to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and bright green.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the ham and broccoli mixture, tilting the skillet to ensure the eggs cover the filling evenly.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
- Once the edges start to set, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
- Carefully fold the omelette in half using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider adding diced onions or bell peppers to the ham and broccoli mixture.
- You can substitute the cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, for a different taste.
- Serve with a side of whole grain toast or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
