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

12 large eggs

1/2 c. light cream or whole milk

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. granulated garlic
