Ingredients
- Large eggs
- 4
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Fresh mushrooms
- 1 cup, sliced
- Cooked ham
- 1/2 cup, diced
- Shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup
- Fresh herbs (optional)
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with salt and pepper until fully blended.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
- Add the diced ham and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly golden.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure the eggs spread evenly across the bottom.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges of the omelette start to set and the center remains slightly runny.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over one half of the omelette and add fresh herbs if desired.
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese, creating a half-moon shape.
- Cook for another minute, allowing the cheese to melt and the omelette to cook through. Adjust the heat if needed to avoid browning the bottom too much.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, garnish with additional herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the ham with spinach or bell peppers.
- Add a splash of cream to the eggs for a richer texture.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or feta for varied flavors.
