I have pretty fond memories of my late mother making delicious breakfast every morning and one of my favorites was her recipe for egg omelettes with ham and cheese… yumm! So when I was given the opportunity to create a simple breakfast recipe with Oscar Mayer Selects Natural, I immediately thought of making egg omelettes!
I wanted my recipe to be of a bit on the balanced side and added mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes and red and green onions (besides egg and cheese, of course) and Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Ham! This omelette turned out colorful and flavorful – perfect for starting your day off right!
This egg omelette recipe is so flavorful and quick to make!

Spinach Ham and Cheese Omelette
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 2 1x
Description
This colorful, flavorful omelette has got ‘better for you’ ingredients and is perfect for starting your day off right! Serve it with a side of your favorite fruit.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp half and half
- pinch salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 handful spinach leaves, sliced
- 4 slices Oscar Mayer Selects Natural Applewood Smoked Ham
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- chopped tomatoes, for garnish
- sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Add the eggs, half-and-half, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add a little olive oil or nonstick cooking spray to a small skillet, and sauté the mushrooms and onions for 3 to 4 minutes or done to your liking. Set aside.
- Place a 10-inch skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Liberally spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray and pour the eggs in the pan.
- Working quickly, tilt the pan to evenly distribute the eggs. Use a spatula to move the eggs in the middle around for the first 10 to 15 seconds of cooking. This helps prevent the center of the omelette from getting too brown on the bottom.
- Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking the omelette, using a spatula to pull in the edges as needed to keep it in a circular shape.
- When the top of the egg is mostly cooked but still a little wet, spread the mushroom and spinach filling on one-half of the omelette, slightly off center.
- Lay 4 slices of ham over the filling followed by the cheese.
- Turn the heat down to low and place a cover over the pan for 1 to 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Using a wide spatula, flip the side of the omelette without any filling over the top of the cheese.
- Carefully transfer the omelette to a serving dish and garnish with the tomatoes and green onions.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
And if you’re looking for quality cold cuts that have no artificial ingredients and delicious taste, try the new Oscar Mayer Selects Natural line of deli meats!
We love making sandwiches in our house and Oscar Mayer is our number one brand of choice when it comes to deli meats! But I’m so excited to introduce my family to the new Selects Natural line because it’s made with “better for you” (no artificial )ingredients, and is minimally processed. I also love the fact that Selects Natural has no artificial preservatives, flavors, colors, and has no gluten and no by-products! To me, that means a lot!
I admit, when I saw the ‘no artificial preservatives’ description, I was a bit skeptical. I thought, “hmm, this is too good to be true!”. But then I looked at the back side of the package and it does list the ingredients used to preserve quality of the product! With no artificial ingredients and real quality taste, I can rely on the fact that Oscar Mayer Selects Natural is one thing that’s not too good to be true. I am all about serving my family the good stuff, and with Oscar Mayer Selects Natural, I know I am doing that and we all enjoy the quality cold cuts my family deserves!
