Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 green bell pepper
• 0.5 red bell pepper
• 0.5 yellow onion
• 0.5 cup cooked ham
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Dice the green and red bell peppers, as well as the yellow onion, into small, uniform pieces.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the unsweetened almond milk. Whisk together until fully combined, then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced bell peppers, onion, and cooked ham to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Remove the cooked vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling gently to spread it evenly across the surface.

Step 6

Allow the eggs to cook without stirring until the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Spoon the vegetable and ham mixture over one half of the omelet.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently fold the other half of the omelet over the filled side. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the center is fully cooked.

Step 9

Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Denver Omelet!
