Keep the heat at medium — high heat browns the eggs before the middle sets.
How to make it
- Cook the ham and veggies.. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the ham, bell pepper and onion for 5–6 minutes, stirring, until the veggies are soft. Scoop onto a plate.
- Whisk the eggs.. Crack all 10 eggs into the bowl. Add the salt and pepper and whisk until fully mixed and a little frothy.
- Start the omelet.. Melt the remaining butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit for 1 minute until the edges start to set.
- Add the filling.. Spread the ham and veggie mixture over one half of the eggs and sprinkle the cheese over everything.
- Fold it over.. When the eggs are mostly set but still a little wet on top (about 4–5 minutes), slide the spatula under the empty half and fold it over the filled half.
- Finish and serve.. Cook 1–2 more minutes until the cheese melts, then slide the whole omelet onto a plate and cut into 4 wedges.
How to serve it
Hot sauce and a side of toast. This is a full breakfast all by itself.
