When you see how quickly and easily a Baked Omelette comes together, it will be part of the regular breakfast rotation in your home. It’s high-protein, gluten-free, low carb, and a great way to sneak in extra veggies! Customize the toppings to your liking and double the batch to freeze an unbaked one for later.

“Had this last week and its in the oven again for tonight! Loved it that much! AND it was SO easy!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Jen

Wait…you can bake an omelette?

When you hear the word “Omelette”, you likely think of the stovetop egg dish and not of a casserole-style recipe.

But, we’re shaking things up and giving you an oven-baked version of this classic recipe. You’ll find that a baked omelette is just as easy and yields equally delicious results.

The ingredients are very customizable which makes this a go-to recipe for many busy families.

Tip: Cook Once and Eat All Week!

You can easily double this recipe and store the leftovers in the fridge for busy week mornings. It works perfectly as a grab and go breakfast.

Ingredients

One of the beauties of this recipe is that the ingredients are easily customized to your liking. As long as you keep these ratios, your Oven Omelette will come out moist and tasty!

  • Eggs, cheese, and milk – The amount of these shouldn’t be changed too much. You can mix up the cheese you use, though.
  • 1 cup of veggies – Aside from spinach, veggies will need to be sautéed in advance. Otherwise they will be undercooked and crunchy. Here are some veggie options:
    • Onion
    • Bell pepper
    • Spinach
    • Mushroom
    • Zucchini
    • Asparagus
    • Tomatoes
    • Broccoli
  • Cooked breakfast meat – Again, choose your own adventure. Or just add more veggies if you want to make it vegetarian. Here are some ideas:
    • Chopped ham (a great way to use leftovers from Crockpot Ham)
    • Breakfast sausage
    • Bacon (make it in the oven to save time and mess).
Ingredients for a baked omelette

How to Make an Oven Omelette

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk until combined. Stir in cheese.

Now add your cooked and cooled veggies and meat.

Note: If you want to add spinach, this would be the time to do it.

Bake the Omelette

You will add your ingredients to a greased 9-inch baking pan. This can be glass or metal. If using glass, you might have to add a few minutes to our cooking time.

My Favorite Baking Pan

I can’t say enough good things about our Caraway Bakeware. I didn’t even have to use cooking spray for this recipe. The nonstick ceramic does all of the work for me!

Serve Warm and Enjoy!

While the oven omelette is its very best right out of the oven, it makes great leftovers too. Serve it with our Classic Fruit Salad or one of our 7 Smoothies for a perfectly well-rounded breakfast!

Bagwell Freezer Bag Stand

When a freezer meal recipe is large or has lots of liquid, I have found that this particular bag stand works best. It’s more secure and less prone to slipping or tipping over. Check it out!

Instructions

Make It Now:

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F degrees. Grease an 8×8 or 9×9 casserole dish with cooking spray. 
  2. Saute Veggies: In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmery. Add the diced veggies. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until the vegetables are just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cook a bit. (This would also be a good time to cook the meat, if it isn’t already.)
  3. Combine: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and milk until combined. Stir in cheese, veggies, and meat. Note: If you want to add spinach, this would be the time to do it.
  4. Bake: Pour egg mixture into the casserole dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until eggs are set.

Freeze For Later: Assemble all of the ingredients together in a freezer container or freezer bag. Do not bake. Seal and freeze.

Prepare From Frozen: Thaw completely. Bake according to directions.

    Would it be ok to make the night before and chill in the fridge before cooking in the morning. Trying to figure out some good healthy breakfasts for my family, but I have a horrible time trying to get up in the mornings!

    I want to make this and add hash brown potatoes to the mix? Would you add them frozen?

      I haven’t added frozen hashbrowns to this particular recipe before, so I’m not sure. Has anyone else tried this?

        I make something similar and I’ve found the normal loose hash browns don’t work well because they are pale bland and don’t have that nice crisp thing going. However frozen tater tots or the frozen hash brown patties work well since they are already crispy. I do add them still frozen. They work well putting it straight back in the freezer or in the fridge overnight to cook in the AM.

    Just made today for a great Memorial Day breakfast. It was a hit with the whole family. The best part was it was so easy to make & tasted awesome. I put sautéd onions & peppers, spinach, bacon, green onion & cheese in mine.

      Ooo, that sounds delicious. Can’t go wrong with more veggies and of course bacon and cheese.

    Do you know if this freezes well? To be heated up as individual servings? I am the first one to leave the house in the mornings and am constantly looking for super easy breakfast solutions for my family. As long as they can grab it and nuke it, they will usually eat it!

      Debbie, this really isn’t a great one to freeze ahead and reheat in the microwave. Gets a little tough. I would suggest trying the Breakfast Casserole Muffins, Savory Breakfast Muffins, Chocolate Banana Muffins (Version 2.0), and Breakfast Cookies if you want some freezable/reheatable options for the family. I make up a batch, let them cool completely, put them in a freezer bag. To reheat from frozen, cover with a moist paper towel and microwave in increments (start with 30-60 seconds and keep going until warmed through).
