01Method
- 1
Prepare all ingredients before starting.
- 2
Whisk the eggs in a bowl until just blended — avoid overbeating.
- 3
Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham, onion, and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and sauté, stirring, until the onion softens and the ham develops a light caramelized color, about 5 minutes.
- 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Stir briefly with a spatula while simultaneously shaking the skillet so the filling is evenly distributed.
- 5
Run the spatula around the edges of the omelet to loosen it from the pan.
- 6
Scatter the Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper evenly over the surface.
- 7
Continue cooking, occasionally shaking the pan, until the top is set but still slightly moist, about 5 minutes. Fold the omelet in half with the spatula and slide it onto a plate.
