The Denver Omelet

Recipe View 0 mins Prepare Ingredients: Dice the ham, onion, and bell pepper. Shred the Cheddar cheese. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 0 mins Whisk Eggs: In a small bowl, gently whisk the eggs until just combined. Avoid overbeating to maintain a tender texture. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Sauté Vegetables and Ham: Melt the butter in a 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced ham, onion, and green bell pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften and the ham starts to caramelize, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 0 mins Add Eggs: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, ensuring they distribute evenly over the ham and vegetables. (1 minute)
