Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup ham, diced
- ¾ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- 1
Crack the 4 eggs into a medium bowl and add 0.25 teaspoon salt and 0.125 teaspoon pepper.
- 2
Whisk the eggs with a fork, stirring in one direction for 30 seconds, until the whites and yolks are completely mixed and uniform in color.
- 3
Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons butter, tilting the pan so the butter coats the entire bottom evenly.
- 4
When the butter is foamy and light golden (about 60 seconds), pour the whisked eggs into the center of the pan and let them sit undisturbed for 10 seconds.
- 5
Using a rubber spatula, gently push the cooked egg at the edge of the pan toward the center, tilting the skillet so uncooked egg runs to the edge.
- 6
Repeat the pushing and tilting motion every 15 seconds until the top surface of the eggs looks mostly set but still slightly wet, about 45 seconds total.
- 7
Sprinkle the 0.75 cup diced ham across the entire surface of the omelette, then sprinkle the 0.75 cup shredded cheddar on top.
- 8
Fold the omelette in half by lifting the handle side of the pan and sliding the omelette onto a plate so it folds onto itself, or tip it onto a plate seam-side down.
