Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup diced ham
  • 4 tablespoons chives
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Gruyere, omit for dairy-free
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs together with a generous pinch of salt and the chives. Set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a medium pan and heat over medium high heat. Add the ham and cook until warmed/lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes then set aside. 
  • Add the second tablespoon of butter to the now empty pan and when the butter is melted, add the eggs and stir over medium heat. Stir constantly to begin scrambling the eggs. When curds accumulate and the egg begins to become mostly set, stop stirring to allow the omelet to fully set. Sprinkle cheese on one half along with the reserved ham. Fold the half without toppings over the cheese/ham side and slide the omelet onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh ground pepper and a few more chives, if desired.
