Ham and veggie omelet

A ham and veggie omelet is a nutritious and delicious meal perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner. Combining the flavors of ham, zucchini, red pepper, and cheddar cheese, this omelet is not only tasty but also packed with protein and essential nutrients to start your day right.

Ingredients:

1/2 zucchini
100g
1 red pepper
120g
1 tsp garlic
2.80g
1 egg
54g
6 tbsp egg whites
90g
1/4 cup cheddar cheese
27g
3 oz ham
81g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and dice the zucchini and red pepper.
- Mince the garlic if not already done.
- Dice the ham.
- Shred the cheddar cheese if not already shredded.

2. Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Add the diced zucchini, red pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3. Add the Ham:
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure the ham is heated through and slightly browned.
4. Prepare the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg and egg whites until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
5. Cook the Omelet:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and ham in the skillet. Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs spread out evenly over the veggies and ham.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
6. Add the Cheese:
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over one half of the omelet.
- Allow the cheese to melt slightly, about 1 minute.
7. Fold the Omelet:
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the cheese side with the plain side.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the omelet is cooked through.
8. Serve:
- Slide the omelet onto a plate.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Tips:

- Preparation: You can prep the vegetables and ham the night before to make the cooking process quicker in the morning.

- Cooking: Cook the vegetables first to ensure they are tender before adding the egg mixture.

- Seasoning: Season your omelet lightly with salt and pepper or add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.

- Cheese melting: Add the cheddar cheese just before folding the omelet to allow it to melt perfectly.

- Flipping the omelet: If flipping an omelet is challenging, you can fold it in half or place it under a broiler for a minute or two to set the top.

- Serving suggestion: Pair your omelet with a side of avocado or a fresh salad for added nutrition and flavor.

Your ham and veggie omelet is now ready to serve! Enjoy the combination of savory ham, fresh veggies, and melted cheddar cheese. This dish is perfect on its own or served with a side of whole grain toast or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
