cheddar cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

ham

🥗Healthier: turkey ham

💰Cheaper: bacon

Turkey ham is lower in fat, while bacon adds a smoky flavor.

Heat an 8.5-inch skillet over medium-low heat.

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of milk, a touch of salt, and a touch of pepper. Whisk together until combined.

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet.

After about 45 seconds, when the edges start to set, use a heat-proof spatula to push the edges into the middle, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the edges.

Once most of the eggs are set but the top is still slightly wobbly, scatter a couple of tablespoons of deli ham and extra sharp cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

Let the omelette sit for about 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt.

Gently fold the omelette in half over the filling using a spatula.

Cook for a few more seconds until the cheese is melted and the omelette is fully cooked but still soft.

Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
