DIRECTIONS

Omelet Bites: Saute ham, peppers and onions in oil on medium heat 4 to 5 min. or until vegetables are soft. Add 3 Tbsp. liquid eggs; scramble to a soft texture. Transfer mixture to bowl. Refrigerate until chilled (40°F.)

Add remaining 3 Tbsp. liquid eggs, cracker crumbs and cheese to vegetable mixture. Fold gently until combined. Shape into 12 (1-oz.) balls.

RITZ Coating: Coat each omelet ball with fine cracker crumbs, dip in combined egg and milk, then in coarse cracker crumbs. Place on parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.

For each serving: Cook 3 Omelet Bites in 375°F deep fryer 1-1/2 min. or until insides are firmly set and outsides are golden brown.
