A Twist on the Classic Omelet

Take the ingredients of a classic Denver omelet – onion, bell pepper, ham, and cheddar cheese – and turn them into a satisfying breakfast scramble. By sautéing the vegetables and ham, then adding eggs and cooking them slowly over low heat, you’ll end up with big, soft curds that are sure to please.

Get Started with These Essential Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
• 1 medium red, yellow, or green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into medium dice
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, medium dice
• 10 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk (not nonfat)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
• 2/3 cup medium-dice cooked ham (about 4 ounces)
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Cooking Up a Storm

To make this Denver scramble, start by melting the butter in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat until foaming. Add the bell pepper and onion, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Next, whisk together the eggs, milk, and measured salt and pepper in a large bowl. Set aside for now.

Add the ham to the pan and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium low and pour in the egg mixture. Let it sit undisturbed until the eggs just start to set around the edges, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Using a rubber spatula, push the eggs from the edges into the center. Let it sit again until the edges start to set, then spread back into an even layer. Repeat this process every 30 seconds until almost set, for a total cooking time of about 4 to 5 minutes. The top of the eggs should still be slightly wet.

The Finishing Touches

Remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese. Gently fold until melted, then serve immediately to your eager crowd!

With this easy recipe, you’ll be the breakfast hero of the day, serving up a delicious Denver scramble that’s sure to satisfy even the heartiest of appetites. So go ahead, give it a try, and enjoy the oohs and aahs from your happy diners!
