Instructions
  1. Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, add milk and salt, and beat with a fork or wire whisk until pale yellow and foamy.
  2. Heat butter in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  3. Test heat by tossing a drop of water into butter. Butter is ready if it sizzles. Pour in eggs. Do not stir. Let cook until beginning to set. Sprinkle green pepper over eggs.
  4. With a heat-resistant rubber spatula, gently push one edge of egg into center of the pan, while tilting the pan to allow liquid egg to flow onto the pan surface. Repeat all around until there is no liquid left.
  5. When omelet is nearly done, sprinkle diced ham over half. Place cheese on top of ham. Let cook 1 minute.
  6. Fold half the omelet over the top of the fillings. Remove from pan and place on a warmed plate.
  7. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, parsley, chives, cilantro or salsa.
