How to Make Baked Cheese Omelet

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in an oven-safe skillet (8-10 inch) over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped ham, and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper.
  4. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable and ham mixture. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cubed cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
