　　This ham, bell pepper, and onion-filled diner classic is also sometimes called a "Denver Omelet."

　　

Ingredients

Makes 1 omelet

　　1 teaspoon vegetable oil

　　1/4 cup (1/4" cubed) ham steak (about 1.5 ounces)

　　1/4 cup finely chopped onion

　　1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)

　　3 large eggs

　　1 tablespoon whole milk

　　1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

　　1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

　　1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 ounce)

　　

Step 1

Heat oil in a medium (preferably 10") nonstick skillet over medium. Cook ham, onion, and bell pepper, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, 5–7 minutes.

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

　　

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium-low and shake pan so that ham and vegetables form a single layer. Pour egg mixture over ham and vegetables, then sprinkle cheese over. Cook, tilting skillet and gently running a rubber spatula around edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half, cover, and cook until set, about 1 minute. Slide onto a plate to serve.
