Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until completely combined. The yolks should be emulsified with the whites.
- Next, add in the ham and give it a quick mix.
- Add some butter to a non-stick skillet over low heat until melted.
- Pour in the egg mixture and move the pan back and forth with 1 hand while constantly mixing the eggs with your other hand using a fork or spatula.
- Cook it until a bottom layer of cooked eggs is formed and it is soft and slightly undercooked on top.
- Sprinkle on the cheese.
- Tilt the pan and gently fold the omelette over, creating rolled-up layers of cheesy eggs.
- Garnish with optional chopped parsley and chives.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This is meant to be eaten as soon as it's done cooking.
- How to Store: The omelette can be stored in the refrigerator covered in plastic for up to 2 days. This will not freeze well.
- How to Reheat: Add your desired portion to a pan, cover it with foil, and heat it in the oven at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until hot.
- Use a non-stick skillet to make this recipe; preferably, it should be 10”.
- In a classic recipe, there is no need to add any milk or cream. It is whisked eggs. That said, you can add some milk or cream if you’d like to enhance the flavor and extend the amount of your recipe.
- Do not limit yourself to the ham and cheese once you perfect the technique; feel free to add your favorite vegetables, proteins, or cheeses.
