Western Omelette

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in medium skillet.

Step 2

Add diced peppers and onion, season with salt & pepper, and sauté 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add diced ham and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs and milk. Season with salt & pepper and whisk well using a fork or small whisk.

Step 5

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon butter or oil in a 10 inch skillet over medium heat. (*Note: if you're cutting the recipe in half, use a smaller skillet.)

Step 6

Add beaten eggs. Using a rubber spatula, gently lift around the edges as they start to set, tipping the pan to let the uncooked egg run underneath. Continue doing so until the center is almost completely set.

Step 7

Add the cooked ham, peppers, and onions to one half of the omelette, then sprinkle the cheese on top.

Step 8

Use a large flat spatula to flip the omelette in half, onto itself.

Step 9

Gently slide the omelette onto a plate.

Step 10

Cut in half and garnish with sliced green onions to taste.
