WW Overstuffed Denver Omelette

"Brimming with onion, bell pepper, and diced ham, this diner egg dish is also called a Denver omelette. Unlike a classic French omelette where the filling is enclosed in the eggs, here the eggs are poured over the filling and it all gets cooked together. This gives time for the ingredients in the filling to cook down to a more tender consistency. The filling calls for both green and red bell peppers for lots of color; you can even throw in an orange or yellow one too if you're feeling particularly wild. The bell peppers really help bring out the sweetness in the scallions and ham. Our version is leaner since it omits the cheese—trust us, you won't miss it at all."
