    Mother's Day: Country Ham and Cheddar Omelet

    Source of Recipe


    Emeril Lagasse

    List of Ingredients


    • 3 eggs
    • Pinch salt
    • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
    • 2 Tbsp heavy cream
    • 2 tsp unsalted butter
    • 1 breakfast slice country ham (1/2 ounce), diced
    • 1 Tbsp chopped green onions, plus more for garnish
    • 2 Tbsp shredded mild Cheddar


    Instructions


    1. In a medium bowl or the jar of a blender, whisk together or blend eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, and heavy cream until well blended and frothy.

    2. In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add ham and cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and stir lightly until just set on bottom, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle green onions across omelet and continue to cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, shaking pan to loosen the eggs around edges.

    3. When eggs are nearly completely set but still slightly soft, sprinkle cheese over top. Hold the pan in one hand and, with a flick of the wrist, flip omelet, then fold one-third toward center. Turn omelet out onto a plate, folding it over onto itself into thirds. Garnish with additional chopped green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.

      Serves 1
