Baked Cheese Omelet
"Easy Denver type omelet that is BAKED in the oven- no flipping! So you can continue getting ready or enjoy some coffee and the paper instead of slaving over the stove! Found on The Scandinavian Society of Nova Scotia website and altered to my taste."

Such an easy way to make an omelet. I used a 10-inch skillet. Minor subs-green bell peppers and cheddar cheese. Delicious and nothing to it. Super happy. -
Perfect! Made half the recipe, omitted the ham since I do not eat ham and added some artichoke hearts instead. I also added about a teaspoon of Italian seasoning and scattered some sliced black olives over the omelet. It fluffed up in the oven, baked for about 15 minutes and meanwhile I made a green salad to go with the omelet. It all turned out almost like a pizza. Next time I will try with mozzarella cheese and maybe some anchovy and mushrooms. <br/>This is very versatile (as is almost every omelet) and it is just so easy to have it baked in the oven!<br/>Thanks for posting. -
Bare perfekt! Simply perfect! DH gave it 5 star immediately. Loved it! Besides tasting great, it is so easy. Thank you for sharing a keeper mersaydees. Am definitely making this again. Made for Unrulies Under the Influence during tour of Scandanavia ZWT6. -
This is really, really good. I omitted the ham (only because I didn't have any) and it was still wonderful. I look forward to making this with ham, bacon, sausage, etc. and trying different veggies and cheeses. Thanks for a fabulous and versatile one-dish meal. -
I have used ham, bacon and sausage in this recipe and each has worked well. I always use cheddar cheese (family favorite). I serve it with fried potatoes and toast.

This is a great way to have your omelet. I did not have cooked ham and used Canadian bacon instead. The Jarlsberg cheese was the lite kind and I probably used less than the recipe called for. We really enjoyed the omelet that was cooked in my cast iron pan. I can see doing this for several people at brunch and cutting it into wedges. Very good! -
We really enjoyed this for brunch today. I used 2 tbsp cream instead of the water, and cut the ham back to about 3/4 cup and used about 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. With these reduced quantities of add-ins it was ready after about 12 minutes in the oven, and served two of us. Very good, quick, and very easy. -
A great, hot breakfast or brunch. I especially liked this because I am horrible at flipping omelletes! I used skim milk in place of the water. I topped it with swiss cheese. We loved it and I'll make this again....thanx!
