Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, season eggs with salt and pepper, then whisk until homogeneous and frothy. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, add cheese to a medium heatproof mixing bowl. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat, swirling, until lightly browned. Add bell pepper and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, about 6 minutes. Add ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables and ham are browned in spots and smell pleasantly smoky, about 5 minutes longer. Stir in smoked paprika and freshly ground black pepper. Scrape vegetables and ham into the cheese and stir to combine.
- Wipe out skillet and set over medium heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and cook until melted and lightly browned. Re-whisk eggs until foamy, then add to skillet and cook, using a silicone spatula to push the edges in toward the center as they set and tilting the pan to spread the uncooked egg underneath. Continue pushing in the edges of the eggs and tilting the skillet, working all around the pan, until omelette is almost set, about 45 seconds.
- Sprinkle ham, vegetables, and cheese over half of omelette, remove from heat, cover, and let omelette sit until mostly or fully cooked through on top (depending on your preferred consistency), about 1 minute.
- Using silicone spatula, loosen the edges of the omelette from skillet and shake skillet to ensure that it's not stuck. Carefully fold omelette in half to enclose the filling, then slide it onto a serving plate and serve immediately.

THE DENVER OMELET
A change of pace from a French omelet, the Denver omelet is known for its firmer texture and caramelized flavor. It's one of the first foods I've ever learned to cook professionally, as a line cook in high school. Make it a complete lunch or dinner with arugula salad and toasted bread.

Tips:
- For a fluffier omelet, separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Then, fold the beaten whites into the yolk mixture just before cooking.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet to prevent the omelet from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the omelet will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Don't overcook the omelet. An overcooked omelet will be tough and dry. Cook it just until the center is set.
- Fill the omelet with your favorite ingredients. Some popular fillings include cheese, ham, bacon, vegetables, and herbs.
- Serve the omelet immediately. It's best when it's hot and fluffy.
Conclusion:
Ham and pepper omelet is a delicious, versatile, and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's a great way to use up leftover ham and peppers. You can also customize it to your liking by adding different fillings. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ham and pepper omelet a try. You won't be disappointed!
