I don’t know what it is, but when I try and make an omelette the regular way in a skillet on the stove I end up with a mess! Plus, it’s really hard to make individual omelettes when you’re serving a family so I skip the stove and make a big baked omelette instead!

It’s everything you love about omelettes but made easy in the oven instead. It’s great for serving a crowd and the leftovers are amazing, too. Sometimes I make it on Sunday to have on hand for easy breakfasts during the week.

We love it with some homemade banana muffins or mini caramel rolls on the side for a special sweet treat. I think you’re going to love this baked omelette – it’s great for meal prep or holiday breakfasts and brunches when you’re hosting a crowd!

Ingredients

This baked omelette is fluffy, cheesy with diced ham baked inside and it couldn’t be easier to make!

Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

How to Make a Baked Omelette

• Beat Eggs – The key to light and fluffy eggs is to beat them with an electric mixer until they are uniform in color. Beat them for three minutes so lots of air is incorporated – this will make your omelette nice and fluffy!
• Mix Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, salt and pepper together.
• Combine – Slowly pour the beaten eggs into the flour mixture and mix well. Add the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, and ham and stir to combine.
• Bake – Pour the egg mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The omelette is ready when you test the center with a knife and it comes out clean. Let the baked omelette stand for five minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Make it for Meal Prep

What I love about this recipe is that it’s perfect for meal prep because it keeps really well in the refrigerator!

Make and bake the omelette as instructed. Once baked, let it cool to room temperature before you slice it.

You can leave the slices in the pan, cover it and pop it into the refrigerator and it will keep well for three to four days. You can also place the slices in freezer-safe containers and freeze them for several months.

To rewarm, just pop them in the microwave for a super easy breakfast during the week!

Expert Tips

• If you’d like to lighten this up a bit, substitute some of the egg yolks by adding additional egg whites in their place. It results in a lower-calorie and lower-fat meal.
• Prep it the night before! After pouring it in the pan, cover and place in the refrigerator. The next more pull out of the refrigerator, stir to make sure the ingredients are all on the bottom and then bake. We recommend baking it within 12-16 hours of prepping it.
• Got leftovers? Reheat the slices by placing on a microwave safe plate and heating for about 1 minute. You can also reheat the leftovers in a pan at 325 degrees F for 10-15 minutes.
• Want to mix things up? Change up the ingredients for different flavor profiles. A few different ideas are bell peppers, onion, ham and cheese for a “Denver” omelette. You can really add any type of vegetable, just make sure to finely chop them so they bake quickly.
• Frozen vegetables will also work in this recipe, but make sure to saute them before adding them to the egg mixture.
• If you’d like to change the meat up by adding bacon or sausage make sure to cook it before you add it to the egg mixture.
• Another way to change things up is to use different cheeses!

Serve it for Brunch with these Amazing Sides!

If you’re hosting a holiday brunch this is a great recipe to make! It serves a crowd and you can add some fun breakfast side dishes to go with it.

• Make some homemade waffles and crispy oven baked bacon to go with it!
• You might like my apple pull apart bread or crumb cake as a sweet treat to go on the side, too!
• Don’t forget some drinks! How about some caramel lattes for the adults and a batch of hot chocolate for the kiddos!
• For a delicious side dish make a batch of breakfast potatoes!

This Cheesy Ham Oven Baked Omelet is a mix it, throw it in the oven and forget it kind of breakfast you will love! The best kind of breakfast, if you ask me!
