Ingredients
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 slices thin sliced ham, cut into strips

Method
1 Crack the eggs and carefully separate them, putting the yolks in one bowl and the whites in another one.
2 Beat the yolks with some salt and pepper and stir in the ham. Whisk the whites until stiff, then fold into the yolk mixture.
3 Heat the butter in a frying pan and pour in the omelette mixture. Cook over a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
