Denver omelette
Ham-pepper-onion omelette
A Denver omelette is an American diner staple made with eggs folded around diced ham, onions, and bell peppers, often with cheese.
Also called a Western omelette, it likely originated in the American West, where similar fillings appeared in sandwiches served to railroad workers and cowboys.
The combination of savory ham and peppers makes it heartier than a plain omelette.
I'll have the Denver omelette with hash browns and toast.
