How to Make Baked Cheese Omelet
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- 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.
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
