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.

Step: 1

Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.

Step: 2

Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.

Step: 3

Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Mix briefly with a spatula while shaking the pan to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly run the spatula along the edges of the omelet.

Step: 4

Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper over the omelet. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the top is still wet but not runny, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half with your spatula and transfer to a plate.

Eating good breakfast to continue the day had become a fabulous habit. It’s a great way to start my 24 hours off healthfully. The sugar hit from the fruit wakes me up and bring me power to take on the morning. Sugar is more vilified as the root of all disease, but sweetness is also loaded with fibre, which is best for your stomach system and helps keep you feel full longer, and not want likely grab a snack out of the street food before lunchtime.

Make fruit a morning habit is easy . Simply put the fruit in your refrigerator next to the milk or on the bench next to your grain bowl , or move your coffee maker or tea kettle — somewhere where you’ll find it. Before you eating the rest of your food , eat your fruit. If you’re not usually a breakfast person.
