A couple times each year I do a roasted jerk ham. Not for any specific holiday or anything, the act of making the ham is the occasion.
The flavours of Caribbean jerk chicken on a salty, brine-y ham work so incredibly well and I recommend putting in the effort to make the roast from scratch. You can find plenty of recipes online.
If you want to skip straight to the omelette, you can find plenty of decent jerk marinades at most grocery stores.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
