Baked Omelette
Description
The Baked Omelette recipe mixes beaten eggs with flour and leavening to create structure, while Monterey Jack cheese and cottage cheese add creaminess and flavor. Diced ham provides savory meatiness, and seasoning balances the taste. Baking gently cooks the mixture into a firm yet tender dish with a golden brown top.
The texture contrasts from the fluffy eggs and melted cheese with small ham bites distributed throughout. Baked in a 13x9-inch dish, it slices easily for portions and reheats well for meals ahead.
Serving ideas include cutting into squares for breakfast or brunch. This omelette suits meal prep, storing well refrigerated for several days or frozen. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven, and ingredients can be varied with vegetables or different cheeses. Prepping the night before and baking within 12–16 hours is recommended.
Ingredients
- 10 egg
- 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 c. Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 2 c. cottage cheese
- 8 oz ham diced
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs with a hand mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes or until light and lemon-colored. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a different bowl. Gradually add eggs and mix well. Stir in cheeses and ham.
- Pour into greased 13x9 in. baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- The baked omelette keeps well refrigerated for 3-4 days and can be frozen in portions for months.
- Reheat slices in the microwave or oven at 325°F for 10-15 minutes.
- To lighten, replace some egg yolks with additional egg whites to reduce calories and fat.
- Prepping the mixture the night before and baking within 12–16 hours is effective for meal planning.
- Vegetables and different cheeses can be added; sauté frozen vegetables before mixing and pre-cook meats like bacon or sausage.
