Ingredients

3 eggs 1 tablespoon water 1 tablespoon spicy chili crisp sauce 1 tablespoon butter ¼ cup diced ham

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and chili crisp until everything is well combined. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook gently, without stirring, until the eggs are fully set—this should take about 6 minutes. Once the eggs are mostly cooked, pile the ham and cheddar cheese onto one side of the omelet. Carefully fold the other side over the filling, then cook for another 4 minutes or so, until the cheese melts and everything is warmed through. Slide it onto a plate and enjoy!

Cook's tip

- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Cook the omelet on medium-low heat to avoid browning too much.
- Add chili crisp just before folding to keep its crunch and spice intact.
