Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with salt and black pepper until well combined and frothy.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbly.
- Add the diced ham and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the ham is heated through.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the surface.
- Allow the omelette to cook for 2-3 minutes, watching as the edges begin to set and the surface starts to firm up.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked through but still fluffy.
- Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, and serve hot alongside your favorite breakfast sides.
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or some chopped jalapeños to the mushroom and ham mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor profile.
- Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness.
