Steps
Grate half a medium carrot and set it aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk until combined, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place a frying pan over medium heat and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
Sprinkle the grated carrot evenly into the hot pan. Cook over medium heat until it begins to crisp and the edges look lightly browned, about 2–3 minutes.
Pour the whisked eggs over the crispy carrot. Tilt and rotate the pan, if needed, so the egg coats the entire bottom evenly.
Cook until the bottom of the omelette begins to brown and the top is mostly set but still slightly moist, about 2–3 minutes.
Add the grated cheese and ham slices over the omelette, distributing them evenly across the surface.
Fold one side of the omelette over the filling. Continue cooking until the egg is fully set and the cheese has melted, about 1–2 minutes.
Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
The source does not specify an exact amount of cheese, ham, or olive oil; these amounts are estimated for one omelette. Cook the eggs fully before serving.
