🥘 Ingredients
- Eggs. Eggs have so many health benefits. For instance, eggs have more nutrients -- such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids -- per calorie than most other foods, are high in protein, help your good cholesterol and lower triglycerides, lower your chance of having a stroke, are heart-healthy, help your eyes, and sharpen your brain.
- Milk. I use 1% milk, but you can use almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.
- Shredded cheese. I use white cheddar cheese, but you can use your favorite kind. It would be great with sharp cheddar, gouda, swiss, mozzarella, or even feta.
- Diced ham. Ham goes great in an omelet, just make sure it is already precooked. You could also use bacon, thinly sliced cooked steak, cooked sausage, leftover chicken, or salmon.
- Mushrooms, bell peppers (I used green, yellow, and orange). You can also use spinach, tomatoes, and leeks. Look in your fridge and use up anything that you have sitting in the crisper.
This omelet is easy to modify to suit your tastes. Are you a vegetarian? Leave out the meat. Do you want to make it healthier? Add more vegetables. The sky is the limit for what you can do with this baked oven omelet.

FAQs
Yes, omelets can be part of a balanced diet. They are mainly composed of eggs that are nutrient-dense, heart-healthy, and an excellent source of protein.
However, how healthy they depend on what you put into your omelet. For example, if you add lots of vegetables to your omelet, it will contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Because this omelet is oven-baked and not fried, there is no added fat with oils to add calories.
Omelets are also part of a diet that can help you lose weight. According to Business Insider, eggs are a superfood high in amino acids, which help boost your metabolism and burn calories. Eggs are also low in calories and help you feel fuller longer. If you eat an omelet full of vegetables, it is a great meal to have if you want to lose weight. Just leave out the add-ins that increase fat and calories, such as cheese and ham.

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!
Jean

Nora

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