Yield Makes 1 omelet

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup (1/4" cubed) ham steak (about 1.5 ounces)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon whole milk
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium (preferably 10") nonstick skillet over medium. Cook ham, onion, and bell pepper, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, 5-7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and shake pan so that ham and vegetables form a single layer. Pour egg mixture over ham and vegetables, then sprinkle cheese over. Cook, tilting skillet and gently running a rubber spatula around edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half, cover, and cook until set, about 1 minute. Slide onto a plate to serve.

This omelet was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was good.

This omelet was really bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.
