Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black or white pepper
2 ounces (55g) grated cheddar, pepper Jack, or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter, divided
Half of one large green, red, or yellow bell pepper (4 oz; 110g), stemmed, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
One quarter of one medium yellow onion (2 oz; 55g), cut into 1/2-inch dice
Pinch smoked paprika
2 1/2 ounces (70g) ham (about 3 slices), cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, season eggs with salt and pepper, then whisk until homogeneous and frothy. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add cheese to a medium heatproof mixing bowl. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat, swirling, until lightly browned. Add bell pepper and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and ham are browned in spots and smell pleasantly smoky, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in smoked paprika and freshly ground black pepper. Scrape vegetables and ham into the cheese and stir to combine.
  • Wipe out skillet and set over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted and lightly browned. Re-whisk eggs until foamy, then add to skillet and cook, using a silicone spatula to push the edges in toward the center as they set and tilting the pan to spread the uncooked egg underneath. Continue pushing in the edges of the eggs and tilting the skillet, working all around the pan, until omelette is almost set, about 45 seconds.
  • Sprinkle ham, vegetables, and cheese over half of omelette, remove from heat, cover, and let omelette sit until mostly or fully cooked through on top (depending on your preferred consistency), about 1 minute.
  • Using silicone spatula, loosen the edges of the omelette from skillet and shake skillet to ensure that it's not stuck. Carefully fold omelette in half to enclose the filling, then slide it onto a serving plate and serve immediately.

SIZZLING HAM AND GRUYèRE OMELET



Sizzling Ham and Gruyère Omelet image

Categories     Side     Ham

Yield serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup chopped good-quality cooked ham slices (2- to 3-inch squares)
1/4 cup grated Gruyère cheese (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy.
  • Heat the butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ham and sauté for 1 minute, or until crisp.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan gently to evenly distribute the eggs over the ham. Let the eggs cook and set for about 5 seconds.
  • Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. After about 20 seconds, or when the eggs look cooked but are still moist, sprinkle the omelet with the Gruyère cheese.
  • Using the spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook the omelet for another 30 seconds, or until the cheese is melted. Tip the pan over a serving plate so that the omelet slides onto the plate bottom side up.

Tips:

  • When whisking the eggs, add a little bit of milk or cream to make the omelet more fluffy.
  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking.
  • Cook the omelet over medium heat to prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the omelet, or it will become tough.
  • Fold the omelet in half or quarters before serving.
  • Serve the omelet immediately with your favorite toppings.
  • If you're making a Denver omelet, be sure to add some diced ham, bell pepper, and onion.
  • For a Western omelet, add some diced ham, bell pepper, onion, and cheese.
  • For a Greek omelet, add some diced feta cheese, tomatoes, and olives.
