Apple cheddar ham omelet

 

 This omelet was loosely inspired by a Spanish omelet, but I didn't have potatoes, so I used apples instead, and added some ham and cheese and fresh basil.  The sweetness of the apples with the saltiness of the ham and sharp cheddar are a delicious combo.

Ingredients

1 large onion, diced

~3 T olive oil

8 eggs

2 small apples, chopped or sliced thin (I used fuji; a little sweetness is good)

chopped fresh basil (3-4 T)

some chopped ham, as much as you want in there

1 c shredded sharp white cheddar

S + P to taste

Heat the oil in a large cast iron skillet (12") (you might want to scale down the ingredients if using a smaller one). saute the onions for ~3 minutes on medium heat. Add the apples, and saute both until lightly browned. 

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, and mix in the cheese, ham, half the basil, S + P, apples and onions.

[Preheat oven to 350]

Make sure the skillet is heated to medium heat (with some oil or a little bacon grease if you have it), then pour the egg mixture in and immediately turn the heat to low; cook for five minutes. 

Move it to the oven and bake until set and lightly browned; ~10 min.

If it looks like it's set but not browned, broil to finish for a minute or two.

Garnish with basil and serve hot.
