Ingredients

  • Bread slices (2)
  • Sugar (1 teaspoon)
  • Ketchup (1 tablespoon)
  • Mayonnaise (1 tablespoon)
  • Ham (1/4 cup, diced)
  • Bell pepper (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Onion (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Butter (1 tablespoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)

  • Milk (1 tablespoon)
  • Eggs (2)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
  2. Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and diced ham. Saute until the vegetables are softened and the ham is lightly browned.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, covering the sautéed vegetables and ham. Cook until the edges of the omelette start to set.
  4. Using a spatula, fold the edges of the omelette towards the center to create a square shape. Continue cooking until the omelette is fully set and lightly browned on both sides.
  5. While the omelette is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise, ketchup, and sugar in a small bowl until well combined.
  6. Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
  7. Spread the prepared sauce on one side of each toasted bread slice.
  8. Place the cooked omelette on one slice of bread, and then cover with the other slice to form a sandwich.
  9. Slice the sandwich diagonally and serve hot.
