Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Add cooked rice, ham, 2 tablespoons ketchup, and cheese; cook and stir until well combined and heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl; shape into an oval.
Step 2
Beat eggs, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium heat; coat with cooking spray. Add egg mixture; cook until eggs start to set. Lift edges, letting uncooked portion run underneath. Gently fold eggs, using a spatula, into a cocoon shape. Remove from heat when eggs are completely set.
Step 3
Place omelet on top of rice; run a knife lengthwise through top layer of omelet to open like a butterfly and drape over rice. Top with remaining 1 tablespoon ketchup; sprinkle with parsley.
