  2. Dice the fully cooked ham into approximately ¼-inch cubes.
  3. Melt 1½ tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 3–5 minutes until beginning to soften.

  8. Combine the shredded cheeses. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the fillings.
  9. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the fillings. Gently distribute the ingredients if needed.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

Notes

 -Ham: Use any variety of fully cooked ham. Smoked ham, uncured ham, or leftover holiday ham all work well.
- Milder flavor: Reduce the Badia Complete Seasoning to ½ teaspoon total or use a simple salt-and-pepper seasoning combination if prefered.
- Cheese: Freshly shredded sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack provide a delicious balance of bold flavor and creaminess.
- Baking: The omelette may puff up around the edges as it bakes and settle slightly while resting.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
