⏱ 20 min🍽 Serves 4Americanbreakfasteasygluten-free

Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • ½ cup green bell pepper
  • ½ cup red bell pepper
  • ½ cup onion
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps

  1. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ham, bell peppers, and onion; cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add remaining butter to the skillet. Pour in half of the egg mixture.
  4. As the edges set, gently push cooked egg towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  5. When the top is mostly set but still moist, spoon half of the ham and vegetable mixture onto one side of the omelet. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
  6. Fold the omelet in half and cook for another minute until heated through. Slide onto a plate.
  7. Repeat with remaining egg mixture and filling for the second omelet. Serve immediately.
