- 1 cup diced and cooked potatoes (roasted or pan-fried)
- ½ cup diced ham
- ¼ cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
- 2 tablespoons diced onions
- 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined.
- Cook the Omelette: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, letting it set for 1–2 minutes.
