This ham omelette is a quick and hearty dish, perfect for an energizing breakfast or a light dinner. The delicate flavors of the herbs blend perfectly with the fluffy texture of the eggs and the savory taste of the ham. Let's discover together how to prepare this simple, flavorful recipe.

Ingredients:
- 4 fresh eggs
- 100 g Prague ham or any other type of lean, unsmoked ham
- 2 tablespoons of milk (optional, for a creamier omelette)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil
- Herbs (e.g., parsley, dill, or basil) – fresh or dried

Instructions:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cutting the ham into small slices, about 1 cm thick. If you choose to use fresh herbs, finely chop them to release their aroma. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to achieve a fluffy omelette.

2. Beat the eggs: In a bowl, beat the 4 eggs with a whisk or fork. Add 2 tablespoons of milk if you want a creamier texture. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be afraid to be generous with the seasoning; it will enhance the omelette's flavor.

3. Heating the pan: In a non-stick skillet, add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil and let it heat over medium heat. Ensure that the butter is completely melted and slightly foamy before adding the egg mixture.

4. Cooking the omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette to allow the liquid eggs to flow to the bottom of the skillet.

5. Adding the ham and herbs: When the omelette is about 75% cooked, add the slices of ham and herbs to one half of the omelette. Cover the skillet with a lid to help cook the omelette. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are fully cooked but still fluffy.

6. Serving: Use the spatula to fold the omelette in half, then carefully transfer it to a plate. Serve immediately, garnished with some additional fresh herbs if desired. You can accompany the omelette with a slice of toasted bread or a green salad for a complete breakfast.

Variation suggestions: Instead of ham, you can add sautéed vegetables such as spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers for a vegetarian option. Also, experiment with different types of cheese, like feta or mozzarella, to add extra flavor.

This ham and herb omelette is not only easy to prepare but also versatile, allowing you to play with the ingredients to suit your taste. Enjoy every bite!
