My daughter just made this omelet for lunch. We are both rather small-portion eaters, so the recipe serves 2. But there are only 2 eggs in it, so it could be a large serving for one person. Feel free to vary the ingredients. We used leftover Christmas ham in this one (a honey-baked ham), but Prosciutto Cotto (Italian cooked ham) is another option.

Ingredients For italian ham and cheese omelet

  • 2 lg
    eggs
  • 3 Tbsp
    cream
  • 1/2 tsp
    dried italian seasoning
  • 1 dash
    salt and pepper
  • 1 Tbsp
    butter or olive oil
  • 1/4 c
    shredded sharp cheese
  • 1 1/2 oz
    ham, chopped
  • 1 Tbsp
    grated parmesan cheese

How To Make italian ham and cheese omelet

  • 1
    Whisk together the eggs, cream, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • 2
    Melt the butter or heat the oil in a 9" skillet over a (lowish) medium flame.
  • 3
    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.
  • 4
    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.
  • 5
    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.
  • 6
    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.
