How to Make Southwestern Omelet

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of breakfast sausage with 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms until cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 (4 ounce) can of diced green chilies (drained), the cooked sausage and mushrooms.
Pour the sausage and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the omelet is set and lightly golden brown on top. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
