Ingredients for Ham Cheese Omelette

  • 3 large eggs
  • Soymilk
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onion
  • Butter
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Ham Cheese Omelette

  1. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of spring onion.
  2. Dice 1/2 cup of cooked ham.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk, the chopped spring onion, and the diced ham.
  4. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan.
  7. As the omelette begins to set around the edges, gently lift the edges with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  8. When the bottom is mostly set but the top is still slightly wet, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.
  9. Fold the omelette in half, using the spatula to gently lift and fold the uncheesed half over the cheese.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining 1/8 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the folded omelette.
  11. Cook for another minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
