Notes
When cooking the omelette, it’s best to cook it low and slow, especially because of the cooking of the vegetables.
Because it is easy to stick to the egg and rip it apart, try using a little more oil so it gives a nice protective coating for your pan.
These ingredients can be found at your local grocer. If you can’t find Swiss cheese, try using cheddar. If ham isn’t your favorite, bacon would also work.
