Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the cooked ham into small pieces. Chop the chives finely and set aside.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Using a whisk or a fork, beat the mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Once the butter is sizzling, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes without stirring, allowing the edges to start setting.
Evenly distribute the diced ham over half of the omelette. Sprinkle the chopped chives on top of the ham.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edge of the omelette to check if the bottom is set and lightly browned. If so, carefully fold the omelette in half over the ham and chives.
Let the omelette cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the insides are cooked through and the cheese has melted.
Once done, slide the omelette onto a plate. Garnish with additional chives if desired and serve immediately.
