Serves 2

Ingredients

Eggs
4 large
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Butter
2 tablespoons
Ham
1/2 cup, diced
Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup, shredded

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork or whisk until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  2. Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbly, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
  3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to spread them evenly. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until the edges start to set.
  4. Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
  5. Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the filling. Press down slightly to help the cheese melt.
  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is gooey and the omelette is cooked through but still tender.
  7. Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut it in half if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra flavor boost, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley before folding the omelette.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with other varieties like Swiss or Gruyère for a different taste.
  • 💡 For a heartier omelette, add sautéed vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
