Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup green chilies (diced, canned or fresh)
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 scallions (sliced thinly)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or casserole dish with the butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
Gently fold in the diced green chilies, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and sliced scallions. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, spreading the ingredients evenly across the surface.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the omelet from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with additional scallions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.
