Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced cooked ham

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients. Dice the bell peppers, onion, and ham into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

    Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Once heated, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3–4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent.

        Add the Ham: Stir in the diced ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the ham to warm through.

          Pour in the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook evenly and slowly. Cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy.

            Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the omelet scramble. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt, then remove the lid.

              Serve and Garnish: Once the cheese has melted, give the scramble a final stir to combine everything. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
