Ham and Cheese Omelette

cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bologna

Turkey ham is lower in fat, while bologna is more affordable.

Whisk the eggs, salt and cream in a bowl for 10 seconds until slightly foamy.

Melt 1/3 of the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat until foamy. Swirl/spread to coat the base, then cook ham using a rubber spatula for 90 seconds until warmed through. Remove into bowl.

Melt and swirl remaining butter in the pan. Give the eggs a quick whisk then pour into the pan. Leave for 15 seconds or until the very edges set, then do long leisurely strokes around and across the pan to scrape up cooked egg and let the raw egg run onto the base. Continue for 30 seconds or so until the egg is partially cooked.

Spread the egg evenly across the pan. Top half with cheese, then ham. The omelette should be almost cooked through but still shiny/custardy on the surface.

Loosen the naked side then fold over using 2 rubber spatulas. Leave in the pan for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese and finish cooking inside.

Slide or flip onto a plate and serve! Sprinkle with chives if desired.
