This Baked Denver Omelet is a hearty and flavorful breakfast casserole that combines the classic ingredients of a Denver omelet—ham, bell peppers, onions, and cheddar cheese—into a convenient oven-baked dish. Perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week, it’s a satisfying start to your day.

 

Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

– 1/2 onion, chopped

– 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped

– 1 cup chopped cooked ham

– 8 large eggs

– 1/4 cup milk

– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened, about 4 minutes.

3. Stir in the chopped ham and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Evenly distribute the sautéed vegetable and ham mixture over the eggs.

6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned.

8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

 

Notes

– For a lighter version, use egg whites or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites.
