Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 Tbsp. milk
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ⅛ tsp. pepper
  • 3 Tbsp. diced ham
  • 3 Tbsp. diced scallions
  • 3 Tbsp. diced green bell pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
  • ¼ cup salsa

Directions

  • Lightly beat the eggs with the milk. Stir in the salt and pepper. Mix in the ham, scallions, and green pepper.
  • Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan over low heat. Swirl the butter around to coat the pan entirely.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook over low heat. After the omelet has been cooking for a few minutes, tilt the pan occasionally or lift the edges of the omelet with a spatula so that the uncooked egg runs underneath.
  • When the omelet is cooked evenly throughout, loosen the edges of the omelet with a spatula. Carefully slide the spatula underneath the omelet and fold it in half. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve with salsa.
