Baked omelets are also a great way to utilize leftovers from the fridge.

You can fill an oven omelette with practically anything. Ham, cheese and parsley are used in this recipe, but the omelette can also be filled with, for example, feta, tomato, salmon or, for example, mushrooms.
Omelet is also difficult to break, if you don’t forget it in the oven for too long. It only takes five minutes to whisk the ingredients together and the oven does the rest.
The oven omelet is also easy to prepare in advance, for example the night before and put it in the oven in the morning. It can also easily be heated throughout the week – if there is any left in the pan after the first round!
Baked omelette
(6 servings)
10 eggs
5 dl of milk
2.5 dl grated parmesan
2.5 dl diced mature ham
0.5 dl of chopped parsley
salt and black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Lightly grease the baking dish with, for example, olive oil.
2. Break the structure of the eggs in a bowl and whisk in the milk. Mix in the cheese, ham and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. (At this point, you can cover the pan and put it in the fridge to wait up to a day, if you only want to fry the omelet later.)
3. Cook the omelette in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the surface has acquired a beautiful golden hue. You can test doneness by piercing the omelette in the center of the pan with a kitchen knife. If the knife is clean when you pull it out, the omelette is cooked.
4. Allow to cool for five minutes before serving.
