Egg-straordinary Omelette

This is a recipe for an omelette full of flavor & of course my favorite… CHEESE. It can also be customized using ingredients you have available in your refrigerator. For this recipe I have added our favorite ingredients and made it big enough to share between two people.

Ingredients

• 5 eggs, scrammbled
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1/2 yellow onion, diced
• 1/2 yellow pepper, diced (or red whichever you prefer, I would not use green since that can be a little overpowering)
• 3 slices of deli ham of choice (cut in cubes)
• 1/4 cup of shredded cheese of choice (we use this raw cheddar cheese by Oragnic Valley and grate it ourselves). Also, feel free to add more cheese as you wish to make it extra cheesy!
• 2 tbsp olive salad, we use this one by Boscoli Foods (It’s AMAZING)
• salt & pepper, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. In a medium sized saute pan, set to medium heat and add the butter until it begins to melt.
2. Next add onions & peppers and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to wilt.
3. While this is cooking, grab a bowl and scramble your eggs (do not add to the pan just yet).
4. Then add the cubed ham to the pan and saute for another 2 minutes.
5. Now add the 2 tbsp of olive salad and cook for another minute.
6. Reduce heat to medium-low.
7. Before adding your eggs, spread out your ingredients to cover most of the bottom of the pan evenly (note: it might not cover the whole bottom, but this is so you don’t have a pile of ingredients on one side of the pan).
8. Pour eggs into the saute pan evenly. Once you pour them in, feel free to swirl the pan around in order for the egg to cover the all the ingredients and the bottom of the pan.
9. Now sprinkle your cheese evenly on top of the eggs.
10. Cook for 4 minutes without disturbing.
11. Once the egg has thickened and the liquid is no longer visible, you are ready to fold your omelette in half.
12. Using a spatula, place it under one side of the omelette and lift it so that one half goes over the other half.
13. Enjoy!

Note: We split this omelette between two people because we load them with ingredients. If you are up for it and are feeling remarkably hungry, you might not need to share! Also, commonly alternating ingredients we use are mushrooms, diced tomato, and avocado.
