Ham and leek omelet with cream cheese and black pepper

This delicious Ham and Leek Omelet with Cream Cheese and Black Pepper is a quick and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Combining savory ham, tender leeks, creamy cheese, and a hint of black pepper, this dish is a fantastic way to elevate a classic omelet.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/2 slice ham
14g
1 tbsp leek
6g
1 tbsp salted butter
14g
1 tbsp cream cheese
10g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl and beat them lightly until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- Finely chop the ham and leek if not already done.
2. Preheat the Pan:
- Place a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the salted butter and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
3. Sauté Leek and Ham:
- Add the chopped leek to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes slightly tender and fragrant.
- Add the chopped ham to the leek and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the ham is lightly browned.
4. Cook the Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the ham and leek mixture in the pan.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed until they begin to set around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Add Cream Cheese:
- Dollop the cream cheese in small spoonfuls over the surface of the omelet. This will allow it to melt slightly and spread as the eggs cook further.

6. Season and Cook Through:
- Sprinkle a dash of black pepper over the omelet.
- Continue to cook until the eggs are fully set but still moist, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to let any uncooked egg flow to the edges.
7. Fold and Serve:
- Once the omelet is cooked to your preference, gently fold it in half using the spatula.
- Carefully slide the folded omelet onto a plate.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally garnish with a bit more black pepper or some fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while hot.

Tips:

- Make sure to finely chop the leeks and ham for even distribution and better texture.

- Use a non-stick skillet to ensure your omelet doesn’t stick and cooks evenly.

- Cook the eggs over medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure a soft and tender omelet.

- Feel free to add additional herbs like chives or parsley to enhance the flavor.

- If you prefer, you can substitute the salted butter with olive oil for a slightly different taste.

With a handful of simple ingredients and a few easy steps, you can create a flavorful and creamy Ham and Leek Omelet that's perfect for any meal of the day. This recipe showcases how versatile eggs can be, accommodating a variety of flavors and textures to suit your preferences. Enjoy your homemade omelet with your favorite side or on its own for a delicious and nutritious dish.
