ham

1

Turn on the griddle to low while prepping vegetables.

2

Rough chop the bell peppers and onion.

3

Use leftover ham that was smoked and glazed with brown sugar and spices.

4

Place ham fat on the griddle to release flavor.

5

Add chopped bell peppers and onion to the griddle to soften them.

6

Add some of the ham to the griddle to warm it up.

7

Crack eggs into a bowl and season with salt and black pepper.

8

Heat butter on the griddle; if it starts browning quickly, the griddle is too hot.

9

Pour the eggs over the vegetable and ham mixture on the griddle.

10

Sprinkle freshly grated cheddar cheese over the eggs.

11

Tuck in the sides of the omelette and fold it in half.

12
