Ham and Swiss Omelette

Ingredients

Butter

2 tablespoons

Salt

1/4 teaspoon or to taste

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon or to taste

Swiss cheese

1/2 cup, shredded

Ham

1/2 cup, diced

Eggs

4 large

Chives or parsley

1 tablespoon, chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well with salt and pepper until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy, which will help create a fluffy texture.
2. In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it is melted and bubbly, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
3. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, swirling gently to spread them evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about one minute, until the edges start to set.
4. Sprinkle the diced ham and shredded Swiss cheese evenly over one half of the omelette, allowing the cheese to melt into the warm eggs.
5. Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press down gently to seal the edges.
6. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is cooked through but still tender.
7. Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired, and serve hot with your favorite toast or fresh fruit.
