THE DENVER OMELET
A change of pace from a French omelet, the Denver omelet is known for its firmer texture and caramelized flavor. It's one of the first foods I've ever learned to cook professionally, as a line cook in high school. Make it a complete lunch or dinner with arugula salad and toasted bread.

Steps:
- Beat eggs until just combined; do not over-beat.
- Melt butter in a skillet over high heat. Add ham, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in a nice pinch of salt and a touch of pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften and ham begins to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the eggs. Mix briefly with a spatula while shaking the pan to ensure ingredients are evenly distributed. Quickly run the spatula along the edges of the omelet.
- Sprinkle Cheddar cheese and cayenne pepper over the omelet. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the top is still wet but not runny, about 5 minutes. Fold omelet in half with your spatula and transfer to a plate.

Steps:
- Shred the potatoes, on the largest holes of a box grater, over a large bowl of cold water. Strain and transfer the shredded potatoes to a clean flour sack dish towel. Ring out all the water and add to a large bowl.
- Whip the egg whites in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in the potatoes, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Coat the bottom of a large nonstick skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Carefully add the potato mixture to the skillet and gently pat down. Cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 7 minutes. Top the skillet with a plate and while holding the two securely together, flip the hash brown out onto the plate. Add a bit more oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering. Slide the hash brown back into the skillet and cook the other side until crisp and the entire potato cake is warmed through, 5 to 8 more minutes. Remove from the pan and cut into wedges.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook, stirring, until brown and starting to crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove ham and set aside. Add the bell peppers and cook, stirring, until tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the ham back to the skillet. Add the green onions and stir to combine.
- Top wedges of hash brown with the ham-and-pepper mixture. Dollop with sour cream and sprinkle with chives.
