Sheet Pan Omelet

 

(I found this on the internet and since I was having company, I decided to give it a try - it turned out well and was a home run hit!)





Ingredients:

1/2 lb. bacon/ cooked and crumbled

1/4 to 1/3 c. ham/ diced

1 c. packed baby spinach/ roughly chopped

1/2 c. red bell pepper ( I used green)/ diced

3 medium green onions/ chopped

1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms

1 c. shredded sharp cheddar cheese ( I used a gruyere/cheddar plus some colby/jack )

12 large eggs

1/2 c. light cream or whole milk

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. granulated garlic

1/2 tsp. onion powder

few dashes of hot sauce/ optional.

Preheat oven to 350 F.   Put 3Tbsp. butter in a jelly roll pan. 

Sauté :  Mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers until soft, add ham at the end.

*In medium size bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.  Add a few dashes of hot sauce if you are using it.

* Heat pan with the butter until butter is melted, then brush the pan and the sides with the butter

*Arrange sauteed veggies and meats in pan, Sprinkle 1/2 c. cheese on top.

*Pour egg mixture evenly over top, then sprinkle the top with the rest of the cheese.
