Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and generously grease an 8x8 baking dish.
Bring a large skillet or frying pan to medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper and saute until softened or about 5 minutes. Add the diced ham and continue to saute with the vegetables for an additional 4-5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and add the cheddar cheese, then stir in the sauteed ham, onion, and peppers. Transfer the omelet mixture to your prepared baking dish.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the omelet is puffy, golden brown, and no longer jiggles in the middle. Remove from the oven, cut, and serve immediately.
Notes
Adding pepper to your egg mixture will turn the eggs an unpleasant grey color. Hold off on adding freshly ground black pepper until serving.
