Ingredients Notes
For the best results, use fresh vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, and onions, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Consider purchasing organic eggs for richer flavor and nutrition. If dietary restrictions require, substitute dairy cheese with a plant-based option, and add cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a large sheet pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together a dozen eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined. If you desire a fluffy omelet, whisk vigorously to incorporate air.
Step 3
Add your chosen mix-ins such as chopped vegetables, meats, and cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture onto the prepared sheet pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Make sure ingredients are distributed uniformly across the surface.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the omelet is set and slightly golden around the edges. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Storage Options
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, cut the omelet into portions and freeze in individual bags for up to three months. To reheat, microwave on medium power in 30-second increments or warm in an oven preheated to 300°F (150°C) until heated through.
Variations & Substitutions
For a Mediterranean twist, add feta cheese, olives, and sun-dried tomatoes. If you’re aiming for low-carb, skip the dairy and load up on veggies and lean meats. Vegan? Use a chickpea flour mixture as an egg substitute and toss in your favorite plant-based ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is perfect for any brunch gathering. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad or a side of crispy hash browns for a balanced meal. It’s also an excellent option for a quick weeknight dinner when served alongside a hearty green salad.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare the egg mixture in advance? Yes! You can mix the eggs and other ingredients the night before. Store in the refrigerator, covered, and give a quick stir before baking the next day. This can save you precious time in the morning.
What can I do if my omelet sticks to the pan? Ensure your sheet pan is thoroughly greased before pouring in the egg mixture. A silicone baking mat can also prevent sticking while ensuring easy cleanup. If you encounter sticking, gently run a spatula along the edges to loosen the omelet.
How do I know when the omelet is fully cooked? The omelet should be firm in the center and lightly golden-brown around the edges when fully cooked. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your omelet is ready to serve.
