Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cups diced cooked ham
- 0.25 cups scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, black pepper, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese, diced ham, and chopped scallions. Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of Swiss cheese over the top of the omelet for a golden, cheesy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed and the center is set. You can check by inserting a knife into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dish to cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and cut into wedges or squares for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Swiss Oven Omelet!
