Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large Eggs
- 100 grams Low Sodium Ham
- 50 grams Low Sodium Cheese (such as Swiss or Mozzarella)
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Fresh Spinach
- 0.5 cup Bell Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the milk. Whisk together until well blended and the mixture becomes slightly frothy.
Step 2
Dice the low sodium ham into small cubes and set aside. Grate or finely chop the low sodium cheese.
Step 3
Wash and roughly chop the fresh spinach and dice the bell pepper.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Step 6
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, stirring gently, about 2 more minutes.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl to cover the base evenly.
Step 8
As the omelette begins to cook and set around the edges, gently lift with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Step 9
Once the omelette is mostly set, sprinkle the ham, cheese, and black pepper evenly over one half of the omelette.
Step 10
Allow the cheese to begin melting, then gently fold the omelette in half with a spatula.
Step 11
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the omelette is cooked through.
Step 12
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, cut into portions if desired, and garnish with fresh chives.
Step 13
Serve immediately while hot.
