Andriana Kulchytska

The ham and cheese omelette is a simple main dish, perfect for when you have little time but still want something delicious.

Unlike the classic omelette, this version uses a combination of eggs, cooked ham, and cheese, a timeless pairing that never gets old.
The result is a golden omelette on the outside and creamy inside, and it's really versatile, suitable for many occasions: you can serve it for a family lunch or dinner, but it's also a solution for a Sunday brunch or a savory breakfast that recalls the French tradition.

You can enrich it with a personal touch: a little chives for freshness, or a cheese with a more intense flavor, or a melting one, like provola. In any case, the ham and cheese omelette will always remain a quick, tasty dish ready to win you over with its simplicity.
