Servings: 1
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs

• 2 egg whites

• 1/4 cup diced onion

• 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper

• 1/4 cup diced ham

• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for added flavor)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice the onion, bell pepper, and ham into small pieces. If using cheese, grate it in preparation.

2. Beat Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the two whole eggs and two egg whites until fully blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Cook Vegetables and Ham: Heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the ham is lightly browned.

4. Add Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs over the cooked vegetables and ham in the skillet. Tilt the pan to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.

5. Cook the Omelette: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet while tilting the pan to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.

6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over half of the omelet. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are set but still slightly runny on top.

7. Fold and Serve: Carefully fold the omelet in half over the cheese. Slide onto a plate and serve hot.
