This omelette recipe combines the savory flavors of ham, chives, and cheese for a delightful breakfast or brunch option.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, then remove and set aside.
Stir occasionally to ensure even browning of the ham.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and chives, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Whisk vigorously to incorporate air for a fluffier omelette.
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat until it stops foaming.
Swirl the butter to coat the entire surface of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a minute.
Tilt the skillet to ensure the egg mixture spreads evenly.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, then allow them to set slightly.
Use a gentle motion to avoid breaking the eggs too much.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs, followed by the cooked ham.
Distribute the fillings evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
Fold the omelette in thirds and slide it onto a plate.
Use the spatula to guide the folding process for a neat presentation.
Garnish with additional chives and serve immediately.
Serve with a side of fresh salad or toast for a complete meal.
