My family loves breakfast for dinner. We usually have it once a week. We do the usual things like pancakes, french toast, and waffles. I have some healthy recipes for those which I’ll share with you later, but since I’m trying to stay away from processed carbs, we also eat a lot of eggs. Not all my kids like eggs, but they all love omelets. Go figure.
As you can imagine, making omelets for such a big group is time consuming, so I knew I needed to come up with another way. I decided to throw all the ingredients into a casserole dish and bake it. It took literally five minutes to throw together and turned out awesome.
The eggs end up creamy and fluffly inside, and you can include anything you normally like in an omelet. The pictured omelet includes turkey sausage, jalapeno peppers, and cheddar cheese. I think it would be yummy with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and swiss. Use your imagination, and I’m sure you’ll come up with some great creations.
I’ve even used this recipe as part of my weekly meal prep because it reheats well. If I want to keep the kids out of it, I put in things they don’t like. Sneaky–like the jalapeno peppers. Now, for the super simple recipe….
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup cheese
- 2 cups meat and veggies (any kind you'd like)
- Salt & pepper
- Crack eggs into a lightly greased casserole dish.
- Whisk in milk.
- Add cheese, meat and veggies, salt and pepper, and stir together.
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 30-45 minutes until lightly golden on top.
- Great additions are sausage, ham, bacon, mushrooms, onion, peppers, spinach, tomatoes. Anything you normally like in an omelet can be added.
- Eggs - 1 Red
- Veggies - 1 Green
- Cheese - 1 Blue
That looks yummy! I need to try that.
Thanks for stopping by, Heather. I loved your Thanksgiving post!
How many servings does this make?
Six servings.
What size pan do you bake it in?
An 8×8 square or small rectangle one is what I use.
is it 2 cups meat and 2 cups Veggies?
2 cups total with any combination of meats and veggies. Sorry, that was kind of confusing. I’ll fix it to be more clear.
HI Kimberley,
Just found your site and think it’s awesome. Question: Why are you not counting the cheese in this recipe (Blue container)?
Nancy, great catch. Sorry, that was just an omission on my part. I updated it to include 1 blue container.
Do you pre cook the meat?
Yes, I do use pre-cooked meat.
