Ingredients for Baked Cheese And Vegetable Omelet

  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced

How to Make Baked Cheese And Vegetable Omelet

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 10-inch round baking dish.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: Cut the red bell pepper into 1/4-inch thick rings, thinly slice the onion, and dice the zucchini.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: In a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the red pepper, onion, and zucchini. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Assemble the omelet: Transfer the cooked vegetables to the prepared baking dish using a slotted spoon.
  5. Add the cheese: Top the vegetables evenly with the cubed Swiss and smoked mozzarella cheese.
  6. Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  7. Pour and bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and vegetables in the baking dish.
  8. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned and golden.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
