WESTERN SCRAMBLE

Steps:

• Cook ham, green pepper, and onions in butter until vegetables are tender.
• Stir soup until smooth; blend in eggs; add to ham mixture.
• Cook over low heat until eggs are set, lifting eggs gently now and then.

WESTERN OMELETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat together 3 of the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a small non-stick skillet, with tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook, covered, without stirring, until tender, about 3 minutes. Uncover and raise the heat to medium-high. Add the ham and scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
• Melt a nut-sized piece of the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add 1/4 of the pepper mixture. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula, until just cooked, about 30 seconds. Turn off the heat and, using the rubber spatula, smooth over the top of the omelette so that it evenly covers the inside of the skillet. If using the cheese, sprinkle about 2 tablespoons over the omelette. Let rest for 30 seconds until the omelette has set.
• Using the rubber spatula, fold the omelette in half, and transfer to a warmed plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 4 omelettes in all.

WESTERN SKINNY SCRAMBLE (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• Lightly mist a medium microwave-safe bowl with spray. Put in the egg whites.
• Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist it with spray. Place the bacon, onion and bell pepper in the skillet. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the onion and bell pepper are tender, but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, microwave the egg whites on low for 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top. Then stir with a fork, breaking the apart into large pieces. By the time you "scramble" and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness. If they are still undercooked, microwave them on low in 10-second intervals until just done.
• Turn the heat under the skillet to low. Stir the eggs into the bacon mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the cheese and cover until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and serve immediately.
