Instructions
Ham Filling:
- Melt butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add onion, ham, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and cook until starting tender, but crisp – about 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic, salt, pepper, and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Next, add spinach and cook just until wilted.
- Remove from skillet and set aside.
Omelette:
- Place eggs in a small bowl with hot water (not boiling) for 5 minutes.
- After that, crack the eggs into another bowl and whisk with cream, salt and pepper.
- If you have time and want a fluffier omelette, separate the egg whites and beat them separately, after that fold them into the egg yolk and cream mixture.
- Place a skillet over low-medium heat and add butter.
- When it foams, add egg mixture and immediately give it a few stirs, like you would make scrambled eggs. Next, when the base just starts to set, spread it all out to cover the bottom of the skillet and let it cook.
- After 30 seconds, see if the edges are cooked and use a rubber spatula to lift up the edges, tilt the pan to make the egg mixture run off the surface under the omelette. Repeat 2 or 3 times for uniform cooking.
- Sprinkle half the omelette with some of the cheese, top with the ham filling mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Cover with the lid and cook for 30 seconds or until the underside is lightly golden and the top is just set.
- Fold the omelette in half to cover the filling, and transfer to the serving plate immediately.
Notes
- Aside from ham, you can have various filling options such as bacon, sausages, seafood such as fish and prawn, or ground pork or beef.
- The best kind of eggs to use are free-range and organic ones for their taste.
