Diner-Style Western Omelet
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup (1/4" cubed) ham steak (about 1.5 ounces)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 1 ounce)
- Heat oil in a medium (preferably 10") nonstick skillet over medium. Cook ham, onion, and bell pepper, stirring often, until softened and beginning to brown, 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and shake pan so that ham and vegetables form a single layer. Pour egg mixture over ham and vegetables, then sprinkle cheese over. Cook, tilting skillet and gently running a rubber spatula around edges to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath, until eggs are mostly set, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half, cover, and cook until set, about 1 minute. Slide onto a plate to serve.
