For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, or jalapenos. To ensure a perfectly cooked omelet, avoid overcrowding the skillet and maintain a consistent medium-high heat.

01
Step
6 mins
Prepare the Filling: Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the green onions, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cooked ham strips until heated through, approximately 1 minute. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Transfer the filling to a small bowl and keep warm.
02
Step
1 mins
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 large eggs. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
03
Step
3 mins
Cook the Omelet: Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of butter and allow it to melt and foam. Pour the beaten egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath and come into contact with the hot skillet. Shake and tilt the skillet to distribute the uncooked egg evenly. Repeat this process until the top of the omelet is set but still slightly moist and soft, about 2 minutes.

StepAssemble and Serve: Arrange the prepared filling over one half of the omelet. Gently fold the other half over the filling. Slide the omelet carefully onto a serving plate. Serve immediately and savor the delightful flavors of this classic Western Omelet.
