  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons onions, diced

How To Make denver omelet

  • Step 1
    Beat eggs very well before adding salt and pepper. Beat again and set aside.
  • Step 2
    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add butter and when it starts sizzling, add onions, green peppers, red peppers, and ham. Sauté until the veggies soften, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Reduce heat to medium-low and lightly grease the skillet with cooking spray.
  • Step 5
    Add beaten eggs and swirl the pan to distribute the egg mixture and cover the bottom of the skillet. Let sit for about 45 seconds before adding cheese and smoked paprika.
  • Step 6
    When the edges start to set, using a spatula, gently slide it under to release it and then tilt the pan so the runny eggs get in contact with the hot skillet, cooking them as well. Continue until the top is cooked and there’s no runny eggs.
  • Step 7
    Add the vegetable mixture onto half of the omelet and quickly flip it over. Serve immediately.
