Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, and chili crisp until everything is well combined. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it’s bubbly. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 6 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set. Once the eggs are cooked, pile the ham and cheddar cheese on one side of the omelet. Carefully fold the other half over the filling and cook for another 4 minutes, giving the cheese time to melt. Slide it onto a plate and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, savory flavors of ham and cheese with the spicy crunch of chili crisp. It’s a simple way to add excitement to a classic breakfast. The crispy texture and bold taste make every bite satisfying and memorable.
How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a light green salad to balance the richness. A slice of toasted bread or a warm tortilla can also complement the dish nicely. Consider topping with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra freshness.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat to keep the eggs soft and prevent the chili crisp from losing its texture. Avoid microwaving directly to maintain the best flavor.
