Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 4 large egg whites
• 100 grams lean ham
• 0.5 medium bell pepper (any color)
• 0.25 medium onion
• 30 grams low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the egg whites. Whisk well until fully combined and frothy. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the lean ham, bell pepper, and onion into small, even pieces.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until they soften slightly.

Step 5

Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Remove the cooked vegetables and ham from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour the whisked eggs and egg whites into the skillet, tilting the pan to spread the mixture evenly.

Step 7

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until they begin to set around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cooked vegetables, ham, and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one half of the omelette.

Step 9

Using a spatula, carefully fold the empty half of the omelette over the filling to create a semicircle. Press gently to seal.

Step 10

Cook for another 1-2 minutes to fully melt the cheese and ensure the eggs are cooked through.

Step 11

Slide the omelette out of the skillet onto a plate, and serve immediately. Enjoy your high-protein Western omelette!
