Let's cook.

01

Cook and fold omelet

Start by whisking together the eggs, water, and chili crisp in a bowl until everything is well combined. Heat up a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it’s bubbly but not browned. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook gently, without stirring, until it’s fully set—this usually takes around 6 minutes. Once the eggs are mostly cooked, pile the ham and shredded Cheddar on one side of the omelet. Carefully fold the other side over the filling and keep cooking for about 4 more minutes, or until the cheese has melted and everything is warm. Slide it onto a plate and enjoy!

Cook's tip

- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the omelet from sticking and breaking apart.
- Whisk the eggs well to incorporate air for a fluffy texture.
- Add chili crisp gradually to control the heat level according to your taste.

Why you’ll love it

This dish combines the rich, savory flavors of ham and cheese with a spicy, crunchy kick. It’s quick to make and perfect for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. The contrast between creamy eggs and crispy chili crisp creates a delicious texture that keeps you coming back for more.

Serving ideas

Serve with a side of fresh avocado slices or a simple green salad to balance the spice. A warm slice of crusty bread or toast pairs nicely and helps soak up any extra chili crisp oil. For a hearty meal, add some roasted potatoes or fresh fruit on the side.

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 burning. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the omelet rubbery.
