Instructions
1
Prep
Dice the ham, bell pepper, and onion, then whisk the eggs with the milk, salt, and pepper until frothy.
2
Saute
Melt half the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and bell pepper 3 to 4 minutes until softened, then add the ham 1 minute until warmed.
3
Fry
Add the remaining butter to the skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the eggs, cooking 2 to 3 minutes over gentle heat, drawing set edges to the centre, until the top is just barely wet.
4
Plate
Scatter the ham and vegetables over one half, top with cheddar, fold the omelette over, and rest 1 minute so the cheese melts.
