- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup diced smoked ham
- 2 tablespoons diced onion
- 2 tablespoons diced green bell pepper
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.
- Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Mix briefly with a spatula while shaking the pan to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly run the spatula along the edges of the omelet.
- Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper over the omelet. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the top is still wet but not runny, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half with your spatula and transfer to a plate.
