Here’s a simple and fluffy Baked Egg Omelette with Cheese recipe—easy to make, customizable, and perfect for breakfast or brunch:
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or other vegetables (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1–2 tbsp butter or oil for greasing
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet with butter or oil.
2. Prepare Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in shredded cheese and any vegetables you like.
3. Bake
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake 20–25 minutes, or until the omelette is puffed, set, and lightly golden on top.
- Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center—it should come out clean.
4. Serve
- Slice and serve warm.
- Optional garnish: fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of extra cheese.
Tips & Variations
- Meat lovers: Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage.
- Extra fluff: Beat the egg whites separately and fold in gently.
- Individual portions: Use a muffin tin to make mini omelette cups.
- Low-carb: Perfect as-is, skip any starchy additions.
If you want, I can give a super cheesy, creamy version that’s almost like a crustless quiche—extra decadent and silky. Do you want me to do that?
