Classic Western Omelette

This is a traditional Western Omelette, a staple in American diners and breakfast tables. It is a robust and flavorful concoction of fluffy eggs, savory ham, crisp bell peppers, aromatic onions, and gooey cheddar cheese. This hearty omelette is a delightful fusion of color, texture, and taste - a perfect way to kickstart your day!

Serves 2

Ingredients

Butter
2 tablespoons
Salt and pepper
to taste
Cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded
Onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Bell peppers
1 cup, diced (you can use a mix of colors for a vibrant omelette)
Ham
1 cup, diced
Eggs
4, large, beaten

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat the eggs along with salt and pepper until frothy. Set aside.
  2. Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it melts. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. Add the diced ham, bell peppers, and onion to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the ham is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cooked vegetables and ham in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.
  6. Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese-covered half.
  7. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully set. Be careful not to overcook, as the omelette should be soft and slightly creamy in the middle.
  8. Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Enjoy your classic Western Omelette!
