Denver omelet
Ham-pepper egg dish
A Denver omelet is an omelet filled with diced ham, onions, and bell peppers—sometimes called a Western omelet.
The filling ingredients are often sautéed together before the eggs are added.
The name evokes the American West, though the dish's actual origins are unclear: I'll have the Denver omelet with hash browns.
