How to Make Extra Sharp Cheddar Oven Omelet

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Fry 1 pound of bacon until crisp but not burnt. Remove from pan and set aside.
Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon drippings in the pan.
Sauté 1 medium onion and 2 green onions, thinly sliced, in the reserved bacon drippings until translucent (about 5 minutes).
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon seasoned salt.
Stir in the cooked bacon, sautéed onions, and 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Grease a shallow 3-quart baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches). Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the omelet is set and the top is lightly browned.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese over the top.
Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice and serve immediately.
