Steps / Instructions

Troubleshooting / Pro Tips

• Overcooked Eggs: Keep an eye on the omelette as it cooks; remove it from the heat just as the eggs are set to avoid a rubbery texture.
• Sticking: Make sure your skillet is well-greased with oil or butter to prevent the omelette from sticking.
• Filling Too Heavy: Avoid overloading the omelette with fillings, as this may make it difficult to fold and cook through evenly.
• Customize Wisely: Use a combination of seasonal vegetables for the best flavor and nutrition. Consider adding herbs like basil or chives for a fresh twist.

Serving Suggestions

These mini ham & cheese and vegetable omelettes can be served on their own or alongside a light green salad or crusty bread. They also make for a fantastic brunch dish when paired with fresh fruit or an assortment of breakfast pastries. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, and reheated in the microwave for a quick and tasty meal.

FAQ

Can I make this ahead of time / meal prep?

Ingredients

US Metric

• 6 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Diced ham
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup Chopped bell peppers
• 1/2 cup Chopped spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil or butter

Directions

1.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is frothy, about 1-2 minutes.

2.

Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture, blending well to ensure even seasoning.

3.

Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and bubbling.

4.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread it evenly over the surface. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes.

As the edges begin to set, sprinkle the diced ham, shredded cheese, and vegetables evenly across one half of the omelette.

6.

Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half over the fillings. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked through.

Gently slide the omelette onto a plate and cut it into bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
