Denver Omelet Ham Peppers Onions (Printable)

Fluffy eggs filled with diced ham, sweet peppers, onions, and cheddar for a satisfying breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Filling

04 - 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
05 - 1/3 cup diced green bell pepper
06 - 1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
07 - 1/3 cup diced yellow onion
08 - 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
09 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

# How To Make It:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until fully combined and uniform in color.
02 - Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced ham, bell peppers, and onion. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and ham is heated through.
03 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and vegetables in the skillet. Allow to cook undisturbed for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set and pull away from the pan.
04 - Gently lift the edges with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
05 - Sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelet.
06 - Fold the omelet in half over the cheese using the spatula. Cook for 1–2 additional minutes until the cheese is melted and eggs are completely cooked through.
07 - Slide the finished omelet onto a warm plate and serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of salty ham and sweet peppers creates this incredible balance that hits every craving
  • It comes together faster than you can brew a full pot of coffee but tastes like you spent way more effort
02 -
  • Medium heat is your friend here because high heat makes the eggs brown and tough before the filling has a chance to heat through
  • Let the eggs set for that first minute without disturbing them or youll end up with scrambled eggs instead of a proper omelet
03 -
  • Have your plate ready before you start cooking because omelets wait for no one and start losing their magic the second they leave the pan
  • A nonstick skillet in good condition makes or breaks this recipe so check your pans surface before you start
