Ham & Cheese Omelet

I love having omelets for breakfast - they are always delicious and I love how versatile they are. Yesterday, I made a plain ham and cheese omelet so that's what what I'll be sharing but you can dress it up however you'd like! You can add pesto, bell pepper, tomato, green onion, Italian sausage - really whatever you have on hand. Here is how we do omelets in my house:

Start with two eggs in a small bowl or a glass measuring dish. I use 2 eggs when I am making 1 omelet, but you can vary this amount depending on how many omelets you need. Whisk the eggs together for about 1 minute.

Cut up some ham. I typically use 1 or 2 slices of ham. You could easily replace the ham for any other meat (turkey/chicken/Italian Sausage...) or you could leave the meat out entirely if you want a vegetarian omelet.

Whisk in the ham.

Grate some cheddar cheese - I never measure the amount of cheese I use, I would guess that I use 2 or 3 tablespoons of grated cheddar cheese. You could replace the cheddar with any other kind of cheese you like.

Whisk in the cheese. At this point, you would mix in any other ingredients you want in the omelet

Prep a frying pan by spraying cooking spray on the bottom and pour the omelet into the pan.

Let the omelet cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat, then flip it and allow it to cook for another 3 to 5 minutes.

And you're done!
