Yummy! The bomb, super fluffy! Best way to make an omelette! I added Heavy Whipping Cream instead of the half and half, and used polish sausage instead of the ham. Topped with hot Picante sauce, easy and very good! Thanks! -
Excellent! Easy to make. I didn't have any half and half, so I substituted 1/2 TBSP of butter (melted) and added enough milk to make 1/2 cup. Delicious! Thanks! -
Delicious and so easy! I halved the recipe and cooked in a 9 by 5 pan, and it worked perfectly. Served with hash browns for a wonderful brunch. -
Just scrumptious. I was a little wary about this recipe at first, b/c it doesn't call for salt or black pepper. That's b/c it doesn't need it...b/w the ham and the cheese, the dish is well-seasoned as is. I halved the recipe, baked in a square casserole dish for 20 minutes, turned off the oven, sprinkled a handful of shredded cheddar cheese on top, and popped back into the still-warm oven for another five minutes. So flavorful and filling. Thanks for posting!
