Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup ham, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
After 24 hours, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat an oven-safe skillet (preferably a cast iron skillet) over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring the skillet's surface is evenly coated.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the omelet is fully set and slightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and allow the omelet to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy your 24 Hour Omelet with your favorite sides such as toast, salad, or roasted potatoes!
