Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Dairy

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup cheese (optional; feta, goat cheese, mozzarella, or plant-based alternatives)

Vegetables

  • 1/4 cup mixed bell peppers, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons onion, finely sliced

Protein

  • 1/4 cup diced ham (lean smoked or leftover cooked ham)

Cooking Fats & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Chop the bell peppers, dice the ham into bite-sized pieces, roughly chop the spinach, and finely slice the onion. Prepare everything before cooking for a smooth process.
  2. Sauté the Veggies and Ham: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Add bell peppers and cook until slightly softened. Finally, add diced ham and spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
  3. Whisk and Pour the Eggs: In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour evenly over the sautéed veggies and ham in the skillet, tilting to distribute. Cook undisturbed for a few minutes until edges begin to set.
  4. Add Cheese and Fold: If using cheese, sprinkle evenly on one half of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the cheese to form a half-moon shape. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are cooked but still moist.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slide the omelette onto a warm plate. Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil) and a sprinkle of black pepper or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor and texture.
  • A non-stick pan prevents sticking and makes folding easier.
  • Remove omelette from heat when slightly soft to keep it tender.
  • Chop vegetables and ham the night before to save time.
  • Cook on low-medium heat for even cooking and to avoid burnt edges.
