Ingredients
For 2 omelettes- 6 large eggs
- 100 g egg whites
- 80 g deli ham, diced
- 100 g green bell pepper, diced
- 60 g onion, finely chopped
- 40 g cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Method
Whisk the eggs, egg whites, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
Heat half the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the ham, pepper and onion for 4 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Tip them into a bowl.
Add the rest of the oil, pour in half the egg mixture and cook without stirring for 2 minutes, lifting the edges so raw egg runs underneath.
Scatter half the filling and half the cheddar over one side, fold the omelette over and cook for 1 more minute.
Slide onto a plate and repeat with the remaining egg, filling and cheese.
