Ingredients

3 large eggs
3 Tbsp. milk
1⁄4 tsp. salt
1⁄8 tsp. pepper
3 Tbsp. diced ham
3 Tbsp. diced scallions
3 Tbsp. diced green bell pepper
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
1⁄4 cup salsa

Directions

Step 1
Lightly beat the eggs with the milk. Stir in the salt and pepper. Mix in the ham, scallions, and green pepper.
Step 2
Melt the butter or margarine in a frying pan over low heat. Swirl the butter around to coat the pan entirely.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
