western omelet

Ham-pepper egg dish

A western omelet is an omelet filled with diced ham, onions, and bell peppers—ingredients associated with American Western frontier cooking.

Also called a Denver omelet.

The same filling between slices of bread makes a western sandwich.

I'll have the western omelet with hash browns.
