Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Pour the 1/2 cup of milk into the whisked eggs and continue to mix until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add the chopped cooked bacon and crumbled cooked sausage to the egg mixture, stirring to distribute the meats evenly throughout.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring the flavors are well integrated.
- Gently fold in 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping.
- Pour the entire egg and meat mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the mixture to create a golden, melted cheese crust.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown and slightly puffy.
- Remove from the oven and let the baked omelet rest for 5 minutes to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve hot, garnishing with fresh chopped herbs if desired.
Tips
- Pro cooking tips to make your Meat Lovers Breakfast Baked Omelet absolutely spectacular:
- Use pre-cooked meats to save time and ensure even distribution of flavor throughout the dish.
- For extra richness, consider using whole milk or even half-and-half instead of low-fat milk.
- Allow your eggs to come to room temperature before whisking to ensure a smoother, more consistent mixture.
- Don't overmix the eggs – whisk just until combined to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- For a crispy top, broil the omelet for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like sharp cheddar, monterey jack, or pepper jack for varied flavor profiles.
- Let the baked omelet rest for exactly 5 minutes before cutting to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a low-carb option, serve with a side of fresh mixed greens or sliced avocado.
