My husband took the kids to school this morning for their twice weekly reporting to the Kumon Center. They were in such a rush that no one had a proper breakfast. Since they would only be there for about an hour, I used that hour to make some ham and cheese omelets. I cooked two and they were ready by the time my family got back.
My 13-year-old exclaimed, “Ham na naman (Ham again)?” She had her fill anyway. There were no leftovers. But I guess that means I should give the ham a rest.
To make ham and cheese omelet, you will need an onion, a small green bell pepper, a small red bell pepper a small carrot, butter, about a cup of chopped cold ham and some eggs. I used two eggs for each omelet.
Peel and chop the onion. Core and deseed the peppers and chop. Peel and chop the carrot. Beat the eggs.
Melt about a tablespoonful of butter in a skillet. Add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for about 30 seconds (below, left). Add the chopped bell peppers and carrot (below, right) and cook until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Add the chopped ham and cook, stirring, until the ham is reheated (below, left). Transfer the ham-vegetables mixture to a plate and keep warm.
Add another tablespoonful of butter to the skillet. Pour in two beaten eggs. Swirl the skillet around for even cooking. When the eggs are almost set (still wet on top), fill half with the ham-vegetables mixture. Sprinkle with Paremesan cheese on top. Fold over the empty half of the egg then slide onto a plate.
Yummy!!!

LOL Chris, I still manage to see my e-mails but I just haven’t been able to answer all of them. Spent over a week rebuilding this thing. And it’s only about 90% okay. “Sassy Lawyer” should be up again before the New Year. The saffron would be great. Arranging my sked is the problem hehehe
gna, me too. me too. happy holidays to you to.
Sha, classic example of too many cooks spoiling the food eh? If a friend did that to me, I wouldn’t speak to her again hehehehe
I’m glad that your blogs are back. I just want to wish you Happy New Year and I look forward to more wonderful blogs from you.
hello! I frequently visit your site and I’m happy to say that through your recipes and additional pieces of information I got from here, I am now able to cook foods that I can only eat in restaurants. I tried your hot chiken salad last christmas and it’s delicious, as if i ordered it from Shangri-la he he he.
this new year can’t decide yet what to serve my hubby, dami kasing masarap dito.
the bottom line is, thank you for sharing this wonderful wonderful site and i hope you’ll be able to recover everything before new year.
have a fruitful and more successful year ahead!
regards,
neri
Hi Maria. Am soooo glad it’s back too. Happy New Year to you and more recipes to come.
Hi Neri. “I am now able to cook foods that I can only eat in restaurants”
That is so good to know.. That is how I have always dreamed things would turn out.
You are very welcome and a Happy New Year too.
I love breakfast egg dishes!
Hope your family is having a great holiday season! 
Delicious photography and I love your personal writing style.
Am going to add you to my blog roll for certain!

Hi Joey. Busy season, yes. Fun. And tiring hehehe.
Thanks, Nika.
Buti pa anak ni Sassy, sinasabi “ham nanaman?”
Yung ibang bata, sinasabi “isipin mo na lang, ham yan!” :p hehehehe
Jon, I think your theory is that it’s because we have ham all year round. Not the case. Actually, with my kids, you feed them the same thing for two straight meals and you’ll hear the na naman? complaint.
Hi Ms. Connie!
What other kinds of cheese can I use for this? Can I use the flat cheddar cheese – i think used for burger patties? Coz I got a pack at home that I haven’t finished using yet.
Thanks ahead!
God bless!
Sure!
