Directions

In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the shredded cabbage, carrot, scallions (spring onions), and ham and season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a small frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook until golden brown, 1 minute per side. Use a spatula to fold the omelet in half. Sprinkle the buttered side of one piece of toast with brown sugar, top with the omelet, sprinkle with more sugar, top with the cheese (if using), add ketchup, and top with the second piece of toast. Cut in half and serve.
