Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons butter, divided
⅓ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
¼ cup chopped green bell pepper
2 green onions, sliced on the bias
¼ cup cooked ham strips
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 eggs

Steps:

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 ounces boiled ham (in one piece), cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 scallions (white and green), roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated white cheese (about 2 ounces), such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Gouda (optional)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
  • Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set.
  • Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all.

  • Be generous with the fillings. The more fillings you add, the more flavorful your omelet sandwich will be. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of fillings.
  • Use a good quality bread. A sturdy bread will hold up better to the fillings and won't get soggy. Look for a bread that is slightly toasted or has a crispy crust.
  • Add a sauce or condiment. A sauce or condiment can add extra flavor and moisture to your omelet sandwich. Try using ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, salsa, or hot sauce.
