Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Beat the Eggs
In a large bowl, crack the eggs. Add salt and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
Cooking
Cook the Vegetables
In a large non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and jalapeños. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and softened.
Add the Ham
Stir in the diced country ham with the onions and jalapeños. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the ham is heated through.
Add the Cheese
Once the eggs start to firm up but are still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the omelet.
Fold the Omelet
Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.
Serve
Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with additional jalapeños or herbs.
