Ham and Cheddar Omelette
Omelettes are versatile because a wide variety of ingredients can be used for the filling. For example, combine chopped tomato and avocado for a Southwest-style omelette, cooked potatoes and chopped beef for a farmhouse omelette, or curried vegetables for a South Asian-inspired omelette. You can also serve a choice of condiments, such as chutney or salsa.
