How to Make Aeggkage Egg Cake Danish Baked Omelet

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  3. Gently fold in the chopped chives and grated cheese.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the Æggkage is set and lightly golden brown. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
  7. Optional: Serve with a side of smoked salmon, crispy bacon, or fresh berries for a complete Scandinavian breakfast or brunch experience.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
