This delicious, hearty Western omelette can be ready in just 15 minutes and is ideal to make on busy mornings. It features both green and red peppers, onions, and boneless ham for the savory filling. This recipe serves 2, but you can definitely scale it up for a crowd. For quick, easy weekday breakfasts, cook a batch of the ham and veggie filling on Sunday to be used throughout the week. Simply reheat a small amount of the filling in the microwave and cook the omelette fresh each day. Or you can turn the recipe into egg muffins that you can refrigerate and reheat one at a time.
