What is a Denver Omelette?
A Denver Omelette is also commonly referred to as a Western Omelette. A traditional Denver Omelette is made with eggs, cheese, bell peppers, ham, and onions. But instead of being wrapped in a tortilla like we have done with our Denver Omelette Breakfast Burritos, the eggs are not scrambled but mixed in with the other ingredients and cooked together until the omelette can be folded over.
