Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, red chili flakes, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is light and frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, jalapeño, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring the liquid spreads evenly across the dish.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the omelet is set in the center and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the omelet cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Spicy Baked Omelet!
