Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt (with parsley flakes)
  • dash of pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 1/4 green bell pepper cut into 1/2 inch strips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add 6 eggs, salt and pepper to a small bowl and beat.
  2. Add 1 tbsp butter to a skillet on medium heat. Add peppers and cook for a 3-4 minutes. Add ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
  3. Add ½ tbsp butter to the skillet on medium heat and pour 1/3 of the eggs into the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes. Smooth over the top of the omelette. Sprinkle on ⅓ of the grated Monterey Jack cheese and ⅓ the veggies over one half of the omelet.
  4. Fold the omelette in half with a rubber spatula and cook an additional minute.
  5. Repeat for each omelet.
  6. Serve with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
  7. NOTE: If you like your eggs well-done, cover the pan with the lid after you've smoothed over the eggs, and let it rest for 30 seconds so they cook longer.
