Ham and Cheese Omelette

Recipe written by Roosevelt Lewis

Serves: 1 serving

Ingredients:

  • 3 large eggs, whipped
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 4 ounces ham, diced
  • 3 American cheese, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, salt and pepper. Beat well with a fork.

Melt butter in 8” nonstick pan. A seasoned cast iron pan will work just as well.

Pour egg mixture into skillet. As the omelette begins to set, lift up edges with a spatula. This will allow uncooked portion of egg to flow under the cooked portion.

When eggs are set but the top is still slightly moist, sprinkle ham and cheese over omelette.

Fold one edge of the omelette over the ham and cheese, and then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

Slide omelette onto the plate and cut into portions.

Note: For a French omelette you can add herbs such as chives, chervil, tarragon, and parsley. French omelettes are folded over three times to form a pocket.

Serving Ideas: Serve with Pommes Frites sprinkled with feta cheese.
