Ham, cheese and pepper omelette
Background
Ham and cheese omelette is a classic combo but I find it a bit boring, so I normally add something else to it - like mushroom, fresh herbs, onion, roasted veggies and so on. Also, I like to use nutty, mature cheeses. This time I made this ham, cheese and pepper omelette, which I served with a crispy salad and wholesome bread on the side.
Ingredients
- 1 red or yellow pepper
- 4 large eggs
- ⅓ cup grated nutty cheese (such as Cheddar, Emmental)
- 2 pieces of good quality roasted/dry cured ham
- 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the pepper into thin slices.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the pepper and gently sauté for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a couple of pinches of salt.
- Cut the ham into small pieces.
- When the pepper has softened pour over the egg mixture, let it spread out then scatter the ham over it. Using a spatula arrange the ham and pepper bits evenly.
- Turn the heat down and put the lid on. Steam for 3-4 minutes until the egg is about to set on the surface. Scatter the grated cheese, put the lid on for another minute or so until the cheese starts melting.
- Now sprinkle the parsley on top, season with pepper and carefully fold the omelette in half. Cook for another minute for the cheese to melt completely, then slide it onto a plate and cut it in half. Serve immediately.
