This hearty 3-egg omelet is just like what you'd get in a classic dinner for breakfast and uses up your leftover ham steams and all your favorite toppings for an amazing meal!
Add the ham in dry and saute the ham to reheat; set aside.
Prep the eggs:
Whisk the eggs until frothy in a small bowl.
Add in the half and half and continue to whisk.
Prep the pan:
Return the pan to the heat and allow it to preheat for 2 to 3 minutes over medium heat.
Add the butter and swirl to coat.
Make the omelet:
Gently our the eggs into the pan and using the handle, swirl the pan to form an even layer.
Allow the eggs to sit untouched for a minute, gently moving the pan, to slide the raw egg from side to side allowing an even layer to form.
When the eggs are ¾ set, add the cheese to one-half of the surface.
Top with the leftover ham.
Using a spatula, carefully check the edges of the omelette to make sure they release with ease.
Carefully shimmy the omelet towards the edge of the unfilled side.
Using the spatula and the side of the pan, carefully fold the top over the omelet.
Remove from heat and allow the eggs to sit 30 seconds longer to completely set and allow the cheese to melt.
Serve:
Slide the omelet onto your plate and garnish with GirlCarnivore Over Easy Egg blend, salt pepper, tossed arugula, sliced tomatoes, and pico de gallo or salsa.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve hot.
Notes
Pay attention to the butter when you add it to the pan. It's a good tell to how well your eggs will turn out. If it turns dark brown immediately, the pan is too hot. Yo need to remove it from heat and completely clean out the pan to restart (if you just remove the butter your eggs will still taste burnt) If the butter slides around the pan and froths a bit things are perfect. If the butter doesn't melt right away, the pan isn’t ready yet.Take an extra 5 to 7 minutes and fry 2 tbsp chopped white onion to add to this omelet.We used cheddar cheese for it’s depth of flavor, but a good diner-style omelet is oozing with American cheese, which is a perfect substitute for the sliced cheddar.Making more than one? Keep the omelet warm for serving! Preheat the oven to its lowest temp, about 180F. Place oven-safe serving dishes in the oven to warm the plates. This will help everything stay hot while you assemble the next omelet.
