About Western omlette

A Western omelette, also known as a Denver omelette, is a flavorful egg dish rooted in American cuisine, particularly popular in the Southwest. It's made by whisking eggs and cooking them with a mix of diced ham, green bell peppers, onions, and sometimes cheddar cheese. The combination creates a savory and satisfying breakfast option. Nutritionally, the dish offers a good source of protein from eggs and ham, along with vitamins and fiber from the vegetables. However, its healthfulness can vary depending on preparation; added cheese and cooking with butter or oil can increase calories and saturated fat content. For a healthier take, reducing the ham or cheese and cooking with a nonstick pan or minimal oil helps cut down on excess fat. A Western omelette is versatile, filling, and a balanced option when eaten in moderation alongside whole-grain toast or fresh fruit.
