Ham, pepper and onion — an American diner classic.
Equipment: Non-stick frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- 75 g cooked ham or gammon (ham), diced
- ½ pepper, diced
- ¼ onion, diced
- 40 g cheddar, grated
- Salt and black pepper
Method
- Soften the pepper and onion in the butter for 4 minutes, then add the ham for 1 minute.
- Beat the eggs and season, then pour into the pan over the filling.
- As the eggs set, draw the edges in and tilt the pan so the runny egg flows out.
- Scatter the cheese over, fold, and serve. Taste before adding salt — gammon already seasons the dish.
Swaps and tips
This works as an open omelette too — just finish it under the grill. Great with a side of avocado.
