Cabot makes sure that only the highest quality ingredients end up in our cheeses, so when making this omelet, be sure to do the same. After picking up some Cabot Alpine Cheddar (or Cabot Lite50 Sharp Cheddar, or Cabot Hand-Rubbed Tuscan Cheddar if you don’t have access to Alpine Cheddar), make sure to go through the recipe and pick up only the freshest ingredients. For instance, fresh broccoli is great, but frozen broccoli is also packed with nutrients that are often lost when fresh broccoli is transported to the market. Also, starting off with a protein-rich recipe like this ham and cheese omelet in the morning will help keep you feeling fuller throughout the day—that should definitely help fight off any snack-food cravings before lunch!

Directions

BEAT eggs, egg-white, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Brush oil over a small non-stick skillet with a pastry brush and place over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture and cook, lifting the edges of the cooked egg up and tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow onto the surface of the pan.
TOP with broccoli and ham and sprinkle with cheese once the egg is set up into one solid mass, about 1 minute. Lift up one edge of egg and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons water between the egg and the pan. Immediately cover the pan to trap steam inside. Cook until the cheese is melted and all of the egg is cooked by the steam, 1 to 2 minutes.
FOLD omelet in half and tilt out of skillet onto plate to serve.
