   Cooked ham and chopped tomato in a skillet for 2 minutes to make a heartier omelet. Add one slice of diced ham and one eighth of a cup of chopped tomato to the pan. In order to warm the tomatoes, the mixture must be cooked over medium heat for a while longer. [3]

   • Ham can be replaced with leaner cuts of meat like smoked fish, sausage, or bacon.

   Turn the heat down to medium and remove the mixture from the bowl if desired. Put the fillings in a bowl and put them aside if you used a vegetable and ham combination. Then turn the heat down so the egg whites won't scramble when you add them to the pan. [4]

   Prepare the egg whites for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are no longer liquid. Running a silicone spatula along the omelet's edges at a low speed will speed up the cooking process. Cook any runny egg whites by tilting the pan so they drain into the void you've created. [6]

   • Forget about it if you accidentally rip the omelet. After being filled and folded, the tear will likely be invisible when served.

   Put the omelet on a plate, turn off the stove, and fill half of it. Scatter the ham and sautéed vegetables in a bowl, then transfer it to the stove and spoon them onto half of the omelet. You could also use a different filling, like 1-2 cheese slices if you like. [7]

   • To add some zest, use a strong cheese like pepper jack, cheddar, or feta.

   You can serve the omelet while it's still hot by folding it over the filling with a spatula. The empty side of the omelet can be easily removed by sliding a nonstick spatula underneath it. Before transferring the omelet to a serving plate, quickly lift it up and over the filling to fold it in half. [8]

   • Omelets are best served immediately after preparation, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
