Denver Omelette

A Denver omelette is made with ham
and onions in this part of the world.
Some people put in pork or Spam.

Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons butter
1/4 cup green bell peppers
2 bias-sliced green onions
1/4 cup cooked ham, diced
1/3 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
salt to taste
black pepper

Directions:
Make the filling:
Melt some butter in a small skillet
Add mushrooms, bell pepper and green onions.
Cook the vegetable mixture until tender.
Stir in ham and heat through;
season with salt and pepper.
Set aside in a small bowl but keep warm.
Beat the eggs together and season
to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat the skillet again,
on medium-high heat.
Add more butter to the skillet.
When the butter stops foaming,
add the eggs and let set for 30 seconds.
Lift the edges of the omelette so that
the uncooked egg runs
under the cooked edges,
coming into contact with the hot pan.
Shake and tilt the pan
to move the uncooked egg.
Keep lifting the edges and tilting
the pan to distribute the egg.
When the top of the omelette is set
but still moist and soft
(after about 2 minutes),
spread the the filling over
one side of the omelette.
Fold the other half of the
omelette over the filling,
and slide it onto a plate.
