Italian Ham And Cheese Omelet Recipes

HAM AND CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ham and cook until browned and crispy, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes.
• Beat eggs with 1 teaspoon chives, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and add to skillet, tilting skillet to distribute egg evenly on bottom of skillet. Cook until omelette has set at the edges. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top and fold omelette in half. Flip and cook until egg is entirely set and cheese inside has melted, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Slide onto a plate and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon chives.

JAPANESE-STYLE OMELET WITH HAM AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the milk and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Stir the ham and cheese together in another small bowl.
• Heat a Japanese rectangular omelet pan over medium heat until hot. Brush with little bit of oil. Add just enough of the egg mixture to coat the bottom of the pan when tilted. Let the egg cook until just set on the bottom, then use chopsticks or a rubber spatula to roll the sheet of egg into a log shape and push it to the far end of the pan. Brush the pan with more oil and again add just enough egg to coat the bottom when tilted, this time lifting up the rolled egg so that the raw egg flows underneath it. (If the egg is browning or setting too quickly, control the heat by lifting the pan off the burner for a moment.) When the underside is just set, roll the log towards the handle of the pan, then push the log back to the far end. Repeat; when you have made 3 layers, make another layer in the same manner and add half the ham and cheese. Make another layer, using the rest of the ham and cheese. Finish making the omelet in the same manner with the remaining egg.
• Turn the omelet out onto a plate, sprinkle with chives and serve.

ITALIAN HAM AND CHEESE OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Melt the butter or heat the oil in a 9" skillet over a (lowish) medium flame.
• When heated, pour the eggs into the pan. Lower heat to prevent burning. Shake pan to prevent sticking. Lift up edges of omelet to allow uncooked eggs to run underneath.
• When eggs are partially set, sprinkle in grated cheese and the ham. Keep cooking until eggs are softly set in the middle of the omelet. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese.
• NOTE: It helps if you cover the pan while it's cooking, as the steam cooks the top of the omelet. But check it every few seconds to prevent scorching or over-cooking.
• Fold Omelet over by about 1/3. Flip pan to turn out on plate, folding over the other 1/3, for a rolled omelet effect. Cut in half to serve.
