Ham Omelet

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs (preferably organic or free-range)
• 2 tablespoons whole milk or 2% (or non-dairy milk like almond or soy)
• 1/2 cup diced cooked ham (preferably high-quality)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
• 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil/non-stick spray)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, diced bell peppers, sliced tomatoes, or hot sauce

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and cover the bottom of the skillet.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
4. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the diced ham and shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
5. Carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the filling using the spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
6. Gently slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with fresh herbs or additional toppings if desired.
