Western Omelet – A Classic Breakfast with Frontier Flavor

Instructions

1. Whisk Like a Pro:
   • Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until smooth.
   • Add milk or water if desired, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Sauté the Fillings:
   • Heat the butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the diced ham, bell peppers, and onions. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the veggies are slightly soft but still vibrant. Remove and set aside.
3. Cook the Eggs:
   • Lower the heat slightly and pour the whisked eggs into the same skillet.
   • Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the egg mixture.
4. Add the Fillings:
   • When the eggs are mostly set but still a little glossy on top, sprinkle the cooked ham, veggies, and shredded cheese over one half of the omelet.
5. The Flip & Fold:
   • Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula. Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt the cheese and warm the fillings.
6. Serve with Style:
   • Slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with extra cheese, fresh herbs, or hot sauce if desired.
