Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of milk and continue whisking to create a smooth, uniform egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the crumbled cooked sausage to the egg mixture, stirring to distribute evenly throughout the liquid.
- Fold in the shredded Swiss cheese, ensuring it is well incorporated into the egg and sausage mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the mixture and gently stir to combine all ingredients.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown with slight puffing.
- Remove from the oven and let the omelet rest for 5 minutes to allow it to set and cool slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve hot, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
Tips
- For the most flavorful result, use freshly cooked, high-quality sausage with good seasoning.
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which helps create a lighter, more fluffy texture.
- Ensure your baking dish is well-greased to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
- Let the omelet rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set properly and make cutting cleaner.
- For extra flavor, consider using sharp Swiss cheese or adding herbs like thyme or parsley.
- Check the omelet around 20 minutes to prevent overcooking - it should be golden and slightly puffy.
- This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
