Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until foaming. Add 1/4 cup diced ham and sauté for 1-2 minutes until warmed and lightly browned.
  2. Step 2: Beat 3 large eggs with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper in a bowl until combined. Pour eggs over the ham in the skillet and cook undisturbed for 1 minute until edges begin to set.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs and, using a spatula, gently fold the eggs over themselves to create a folded omelet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until cheese melts and eggs are fully set but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Remove the folded egg and ham mixture from the skillet and place it onto the bottom half of a toasted potato bun. Top with the bun’s other half and press gently before serving immediately.
