Often, early in the morning for breakfast or in the late evening for dinner, we cook simple meals in a hurry.
Typically, these dishes are unpretentious scrambled eggs, instant porridge or sandwiches.
Many people simply forget about such a simple, but very tasty dish, like an omelette.
And if you add a piece of ham, some vegetables, cheese to the eggs with milk, you will get not just a quick snack, but a full-fledged hearty dish.
Ham Omelet - General Cooking Principles
Omelet with ham is prepared almost identical to ordinary omelet. The only significant difference is that the ham will need to be cut and fried a little. Prepare such a dish and in the pan, and in the oven, and even in the slow cooker.
The addition of vegetables, mushrooms, cheeses and seafood will make an omelet more satisfying and fragrant. A spicy taste and color can give spices and greens.
Usually the whole cooking process takes place in three stages:
1. slicing and roasting ham and additional ingredients;
2. beating eggs with milk and, if desired, with cheese and spices;
3. pouring the golden mass of egg and directly languishing.
Omelette is cooked faster in the pan than in the oven, due to the fact that it is covered with a lid. But in the oven it turns out to be more lush and fragrant and its taste is much richer. In addition, you can put all the ingredients in the multicooker bowl and simply set the desired mode and time, and do other, more important things yourself, waiting for the machine’s horn.
In any case, whatever cooking method you choose, whatever you decide to add ham omelet, you are guaranteed to get a really quick, tasty and hearty dish.
