Basic Omelets

3 Eggs

Salt

Pepper

Ham, Chopped

Cheese, Grated

Use a non stick frying pan, coat with cooking spray or a little oil. Beat eggs lightly, add salt and pepper. Put eggs in a pan and swirl around. Let bottom cook for about 2 to 4 minutes and top with ham and cheese. As it cooks on the bottom, take a fork and poke holes in the egg to let raw parts get through the bottom. When cheese starts to melt take a plastic spatula and gently run it around the edges and work slowly underneath 1/2 of the omlet and gently turn it over. Sprinkle top with cheese and let it melt a little. Slide on plate and enjoy.
