Instructions
-
Beat the Eggs:
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, dried basil, salt, and pepper until frothy.
-
-
Prep the Fillings:
-
Stir in diced ham, red onion, green onions, and tomato.
-
-
Cook the Omelettes:
-
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray or a teaspoon of oil.
-
Pour ⅓ of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly.
-
Cook until edges begin to set, about 2 minutes.
-
-
Add Cheese & Fold:
-
Sprinkle ~2 Tbsp shredded cheddar over one half of the omelette.
-
Carefully fold the other half over the cheese and cook 1–2 more minutes until fully set.
-
Slide onto a plate and repeat with remaining batter to make 3 omelettes.
-
-
Cool & Store:
-
Let omelettes cool completely. Wrap individually in parchment or foil.
-
Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
-
-
Reheat & Go:
-
To serve, unwrap and microwave on high for 60–90 seconds (or reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes) until heated through.

Notes
- Mix-In Ideas: Swap the ham for cooked bacon or sausage, and add veggies like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms to change things up.
- Cheese Variations: Try Swiss, pepper jack, or feta for different flavor profiles.
- Freezing Tip: To freeze, wrap cooled omelettes individually in plastic wrap and place in a zip-top bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
- Reheat Options: For best texture, reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes instead of the microwave.
- Make-Ahead Shortcut: Prep and cook all omelettes in one batch, then wrap and store for quick grab-and-go mornings.
