2
tablespoons
butter
divided
1
tablespoon
white onion
1

red pepper
diced
1
tablespoon
green pepper

½
ounce
ham
chopped
1
ounce
cheddar cheese
Instructions
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 6" skillet over medium heat.
Add vegetables and cook until tender, then add ham and cook 1 minute more.
Add remaining butter and stir. Pour whisked eggs into the pan and reduce heat to medium low.
Lift the edges of the egg, with a spatula or rubber scraper, to allow uncooked egg to run underneath.
Continue to cook until eggs are set. Top with cheese, remove from heat and cover 1 minute or until melted.
Fold in half and serve.
Notes
Use room temperature eggs for best results.
Whisk eggs with a bit of water. This will help them become extra fluffy and keep the other ingredients suspended.
Use a medium or medium low heat to cook a Denver omelette to ensure it does not scorch or overcook.
Refrigerate cooled Denver omeletes in a covered container for up to 2 days and freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw omelettes the refrigerator before reheating in the microwave or on the stovetop.
