Ham and Cheese Omelet

I try to stay away from processed meats like ham and other types of cold cuts, because it is extremely difficult to find them of good quality. These types of "meats" usually have added sugars in them. No matter how wonderful the package claims the item to be, if it has added sugar, then the label of "organic" or "natural" becomes futile.

For this reason, I try to find these products without any added sugar or, at most, 2% or less sugar. Some believe that if the item is 2% or less sugar, the natural fermenting of the product will reduce that 2% to even less. I wouldn't count on it. People believe all kinds of things, but at the end of the day, you have to make your decisions based on facts and the fact is that the product is 2% sugar. Being aware of this will allow you to make sure you do not purchase these items often. They shouldn't be staples in your kitchen, but optional ingredients that are available for certain rare recipes.

This ham omelet is one of those rare dishes that I hadn't had in years. I like to add the ham slices, with the cheese, between the eggs, but you can dice up your ham and add the cheese over the eggs. There are many ways to make this simple recipe, so change it up to your preference.

I like it topped with salsa. You can also top it with sour cream.
