Baked Egg Omelette

Egg omelette with ham or canadian bacon and vegetables is a nice breakfast dish. It takes more than an hour to prepare, but it totally worth it.

Unlike most of other omelettes which are usually fried eggs with some other ingredients, this one is prepared by baking them in the oven.

It is a bit hard to tell exact baking time for this dish – it depends a lot on the size of the baking pan you use and amount of ingredients: my advice would be to test omelette with wooden toothpick (pierce it through from top to bottom and remove it) – if it does come out clean – baked omelette is ready.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• 1-2 tomatoes
• ½ of bell pepper
• 1 shallot onion
• 5oz of ham or canadian bacon
• 1 cup of milk
• 2 tbsp of all purpose flour
• Sunflower or olive oil
• Ground black pepper to taste
• Salt to taste

14. Exact cooking time depends on how high is the level of the mix in the baking pan: the deeper it is – the longer it takes to bake. For the amount of ingredients I had and the baking pan I’ve used it took 55 minutes. Take baking pan out of the oven when omelette is ready and set it aside to cool down a bit:
