Ingredients

– 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper Add crunch and nutrients

– 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper Add crunch and nutrients

– 1/3 cup chopped yellow onion Add crunch and nutrients

– 1 cup ham Main base for satisfaction

– 8 eggs Main base for satisfaction

– 1/3 cup milk Flavor and texture enhancers

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with this baked Denver omelet is fun and easy, even if you’re a beginner. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and grease a 7×11 inch or 9×9 inch baking dish to set the stage. This step helps everything cook evenly and prevents sticking.

2-Next: spread the chopped ham evenly on the bottom of the dish for a solid base. In a skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and sauté the red and green bell peppers along with the onion for about 4 minutes until softened, adding that fresh veggie flavor.

3-Assembling and Baking Steps:

  • Spread the cooked vegetables evenly over the ham in the baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top for a melty finish.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs and 1/3 cup milk, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the ham, vegetables, and cheese in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the omelet is puffed and set. It should come out golden and ready to serve warm, perhaps with sliced avocados, chopped chives, and hot sauce for extra zest.
