Rainbow Omelette - not only colourful it's delicious and nutritious

Today, I'm sharing this colourful rainbow omelette. It makes such an easy lunch and can be enjoyed by all ages, and I know many children/grandchildren enjoy this too. The red pepper gives it a nice crunch, simply serve with salad on the side ... delicious and nutritious 😋


Ingredients
Serves Two (amend recipe as necessary)
4 eggs, lightly beaten
½ red pepper, finely chopped
100g frozen sweetcorn
2 tsp oil
2 slices cooked ham, roughly chopped
125g salad of your choice
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp balsamic dressing

Method
1. Beat the eggs, pepper and sweetcorn together until evenly combined.
2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add half the egg mix to the pan, fry for 2-3 mins on each side until the egg has set, then slide onto a plate, fill with the ham and fold over. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
3. Serve with the salad, tomatoes drizzled with the dressing.

I've got some frozen sweetcorn which I keep forgetting to use. I do have omelettes quite often so maybe I will remember to use the sweetcorn now.
