Description
This American-style omelette is baked to be like a frittata, but without a crust. Loaded with sweet peppers, ham and two kinds of cheese, it has come to be known as the Denver Omelette.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (I used 2%)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small diced yellow onion
- 1 scallion chopped
- 1 large bell pepper seeded and diced (any color will do)
- 1 cup diced honey ham steak
- 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, oregano, salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Add the olive oil to a 10 inch cast iron or non-stick skillet and heat it over medium high heat.
- When the oil is hot add in the onion and bell peppers and season with salt and pepper.
- Let the onion and pepper mixture cook for about 5 minutes or until they have started to soften, stirring occasionally.
- Add in the diced ham and cook for another minute.
- Top the ham and vegetables with the egg mixture then sprinkle on the shredded cheddar cheese and scallion.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the omelet is set and the top is golden.
