Denver Omelette

 

• 1⁄2 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for cooking the omelettes
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 4 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 oz smoked ham, cubed or sliced into thin strips
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 8 eggs
• 2 Tbsp 2% milk
• 1⁄2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat.

2. Add the bell pepper, mushrooms, and onions and cook for about 7 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned.

3. Add the ham, cook for 1 minute more, then season with salt and pepper.

4. Combine the eggs and milk and whisk until fully blended. Season with a few pinches of salt.

5. Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat.

6. Swirl with just enough olive oil to coat.

7. Ladle in one-quarter of the eggs, and as soon as they begin to set, use a wooden spoon to scrape the egg from the bottom, working from one side of the pan to the other (like you were scrambling eggs).

8. Stop scraping just before the egg is fully cooked, then spread one-quarter of the cheese and one-quarter of the vegetable mixture across the omelette.

9. Use a spatula to carefully fold the egg over on itself.

10. Slide the omelette out onto a warm plate. Repeat to make 4 omelettes.
