Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup, shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined.
Add milk, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk again until smooth.
Melt the butter in the prepared baking dish by placing it in the preheated oven for 1-2 minutes. Swirl the dish to coat the bottom evenly with the melted butter.
Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the omelet in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the omelet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. The eggs will continue to firm up during this time.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top for garnish before slicing and serving.
Cut into squares or wedges and enjoy your Baked Swiss Cheese Omelet warm!
