How to Make an Omelet: Quick and Easy Ham and Cheese Omelette Recipe

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.

Chop a few pieces of ham steak into a rough dice and set aside.

Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl.

Add about 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs and whisk together with a fork.

Preheat an 8-inch fry pan over medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and 1 pad of butter.

Wait for the butter solids to turn golden brown to indicate the pan is hot.

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the pan, avoiding splashes and keeping the pan hot.

Use a spatula to push the cooked egg off to the side and let the liquid egg run underneath until there are no pools of liquid egg left on top.

Turn off the heat once the eggs are mostly cooked to avoid tough eggs, then flip the omelet carefully.

Add sharp cheddar cheese and the chopped ham onto one side of the omelet.

Fold one side of the omelet over the filling to create a trifold omelet and roll it onto a serving platter.

Top the omelet with more cheese and ham, letting the heat from the eggs melt the cheese before serving.
