Notes

  • Expert Tips
  • How to Make it for Meal Prep
  • What I love about this recipe is that it’s perfect for meal prep because it keeps really well in the refrigerator!
  • Make and bake the omelette as instructed. Once baked, let it cool to room temperature before you slice it.
  • You can leave the slices in the pan, cover it and pop it into the refrigerator and it will keep well for three to four days. You can also place the slices in freezer-safe containers and freeze them for several months.
  • To rewarm, just pop them in the microwave for a super easy breakfast during the week!
  • If you'd like to lighten this up a bit, substitute some of the egg yolks by adding additional egg whites in their place. It results in a lower-calorie and lower-fat meal.
  • Prep it the night before! After pouring it in the pan, cover and place in the refrigerator. The next more pull out of the refrigerator, stir to make sure the ingredients are all on the bottom and then bake. We recommend baking it within 12-16 hours of prepping it. 
  • Got leftovers? Reheat the slices by placing on a microwave safe plate and heating for about 1 minute. You can also reheat the leftovers in a pan at 325 degrees F for 10-15 minutes. 
  • Want to mix things up? Change up the ingredients for different flavor profiles. A few different ideas are bell peppers, onion, ham and cheese for a "Denver" omelette. You can really add any type of vegetable, just make sure to finely chop them so they bake quickly.
  • Frozen vegetables will also work in this recipe, but make sure to saute them before adding them to the egg mixture.
  • If you'd like to change the meat up by adding bacon or sausage make sure to cook it before you add it to the egg mixture.
  • Another way to change things up is to use different cheeses!
