Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
• 0.5 medium, diced Green bell pepper
• 0.5 medium, diced Red bell pepper
• 0.25 medium, diced Onion
• 2 oz, diced Lean cooked ham
• 0.25 cup, shredded Low-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites until well blended.

Step 2

Add salt and pepper to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 4

Add the diced green and red bell peppers, along with the onion, to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they are softened.

Step 5

Add the diced lean cooked ham to the skillet and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and ham mixture in the skillet.

Step 7

As the eggs begin to set, gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula and tilt the pan so that the uncooked eggs can flow to the edges.

Step 8

Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese over one half of the omelette.

Step 9

Fold the other half of the omelette over the cheese and allow it to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the omelette is cooked through.

Step 10

Remove the omelette from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing it in half. Serve immediately.
