1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced

How to cook it

Melt a little butter in a skillet over medium heat and saute the ham, bell pepper, and onion until the vegetables soften, about 4 minutes, then remove.
Beat the eggs with salt and pepper.
Melt the remaining butter in the skillet, pour in the eggs, and cook, pulling the edges toward the center, until mostly set, about 2 minutes.
Scatter the ham mixture and cheese over half the omelette, fold over, and cook until the cheese melts, another minute.
