Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter divided
- ½ cup onion
- ½ cup green pepper
- ½ cup ham diced
- ¼ cup half and half
- 6 eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions, peppers, and ham to the skillet and cook until the onions and peppers are tender.
- Pour them into a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
- Gently move the eggs a little bit at a time in the pan so that the cooked eggs move to the top and the uncooked eggs can reach the bottom of the skillet.
- As the eggs cook more and more, stir less and less so that they form a solid layer.
- Once the eggs are almost all the way cooked through, sprinkle the cheese and the cooked ham and veggie mixture in an even layer over the top of them.
- Cover with a lid until the eggs are cooked through (160ºF) and the cheese is melted.
- Uncover and fold the omlete in half.
- Slide onto a plate and cut into 4 sections for serving.
