Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Crack three eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until fully blended and slightly frothy.

  2. 2

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, swirling to coat the surface evenly.

  3. 3

    Pour the eggs into the skillet, letting them settle for 30 seconds; gently push the edges toward the center with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow outward.

  4. 4

    Once the eggs begin to set on the bottom but are still slightly wet on top, sprinkle the ham evenly across and top with cheddar cheese.

  5. 5

    Season with salt and black pepper, fold the omelette gently in half, and allow it to cook for another 30 seconds to melt the cheese, then slide onto a plate and serve hot.

Eggs are the foundational ingredient, creating the omelette's fluffy texture and delivering most of its protein and richness. Ham and cheese add savory and creamy notes that define the classic flavor.

Medium heat is used when melting butter and cooking the eggs, preventing over-browning. Stirring gently and folding the omelette preserves moisture and keeps the eggs tender without overcooking.

Proper heat moderation and folding while the eggs are still slightly wet ensure a soft, creamy finish. Avoiding high heat or prolonged cooking is crucial to prevent dryness and toughness.

The Three Egg Omelette with Ham and Cheese supplies approximately 610 kcal and 38g of protein per 275g serving. Protein provides 25% of the total calories, making it a robust high-protein meal.
