Ingredients for a Fluffy Breakfast Bake
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh chives or parsley
Step-by-Step Oven-Baked Omelette Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until pale and frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Gently fold in diced ham, Cheddar, and mozzarella until evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, tapping gently to release any air bubbles.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing into squares. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
Tips for the Perfect Cheesy Omelette Casserole
- Use room-temperature eggs for a loftier, fluffier texture.
- For extra creaminess, stir in 2 tablespoons of milk or half-and-half.
- Mix in diced bell peppers or spinach for a veggie boost.
- Allow the bake to cool slightly—this makes slicing cleaner and neater.
Serving Suggestions and Variations
Pair your sliceable omelette with:
- Warm crusty toast or garlic bread.
- A light mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
- Salsa, sour cream, or hot sauce for dipping.
