Supper Omelet
A quick, savory omelet filled with ham, tomato, green pepper, and onion, perfect for a flavorful breakfast or light meal for those who enjoy a veggie and ham combo.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Sprinkle minced cooked ham, chopped tomato, green pepper, and onion over the omelet while cooking slowly.
- Run a spatula around the edge of the omelet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- When the egg is almost cooked but still shiny, loosen the edge of the omelet, then fold or roll one-half over the other.
- Serve immediately.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating some shredded cheese or herbs like chives or parsley. If you don’t have cooked ham, diced bacon or cooked sausage can be great substitutes. When cooking the omelet, use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking, and cook on low heat for even texture. Always use fresh ingredients for the best taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Supper Omelet with a side of toast or fresh fruit for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Homemade Bean Soup for a hearty breakfast or brunch. For a complete spread, consider adding a side of Bacon Ranch Potato Salad for a delightful contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover omelet in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place it in a non-stick skillet over low heat for a few minutes, or gently microwave it for 30-45 seconds, checking frequently to avoid overcooking.
