- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 cup chopped spinach
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
Other
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the omelette bake evenly.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1 cup of milk until fully combined and slightly frothy for a smooth base.
- Add Cheese and Vegetables: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1 cup diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup chopped onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the egg mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a subtle flavor to the bake.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the combined egg and vegetable mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is fully set, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the omelette bake cool for a few minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with plant-based milk for a dairy-free variation.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes to enhance the flavor.
- The bake can be prepared a day ahead and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
- Use non-stick spray instead of olive oil if preferred for greasing.
- Ensure the eggs are thoroughly cooked through by checking that the center is firm before removing from the oven.
