Notes

  • Whisk the eggs well to ensure they are fully combined and aerated to create a light and fluffy texture.
  • Let the omelet rest for a few minutes before serving to help it set.
  • Add spinach, tomatoes, or onions to give it extra flavor.
  • Don't overcook the omelet. It should be slightly firm to the touch but still moist and tender.
  • If using vegetables that release moisture, such as fresh mushrooms or tomatoes, sauté them in a separate pan before adding them to the egg mixture to prevent the omelet from becoming watery.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until heated through.

      I've made this a few times now and always comes out perfectly. I use red, orange and green bell peppers, and top with green onions. I stir halfway through, and cook it at 355 since my oven seems to take longer to cook this. Thank you for the awesome recipe!!

      I used to make oven-baked omelettes (when I had more time at hand, LOL), and spinach and courgettes were always among the ingredients. Broccoli too, since my fussy eater likes it, paradoxically:) You just reminded me how nicely they turn up!

      A great recipe that even my fussy eater daughter enjoyed! Is now a weekly meal in our house.

      This was such a great idea and honestly, so much easier, especially when I'm feeding quite a few people. I especially loved it because it enabled me to get rid of some of the vegetables that were in the fridge. They were fluffy as you said and you're right, high in protein and low in carbs is such an added bonus.
