Okay, folks, let's talk breakfast! We all love a good omelet, right? But sometimes, just sometimes, we need a little more. Enter the Denver Omelet Sandwich – a flavor-packed, portable twist on the classic that's about to become your new morning (or anytime!) obsession.
I've always been a fan of the simple pleasure of buttery toast alongside my omelet. It was a lightbulb moment then! Why not combine the two? This sandwich takes all the best bits of a Denver omelet – the savory ham, the crunchy peppers, the sweet onions – and nestles them between two slices of perfectly toasted bread. It's like a warm hug for your tastebuds.

Let's Get Cooking!
Here's how we whip up this magic:
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup thin green bell pepper strips
- 4 slices deli ham, chopped
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices of your favorite sandwich bread
- Butter, for spreading
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly butter both sides of your bread slices and arrange them on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're golden and toasty.
- Prep the Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk together your eggs, milk, and black pepper. Mix in the bell pepper, ham, and onion.
- Cook the Omelet: Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and pour in the egg mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes, or until the egg mixture is mostly set, but still slightly moist on top. Lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Sprinkle the cheese over half of the omelet. Now gently fold it in half and remove the skillet from the heat.
- Assemble Your Sandwich: Divide the omelet in half, and place each half between two slices of your toasted bread.
- Serve and Enjoy! I like mine with a side of crispy hash browns, but it's great on its own too!
