HOW TO MAKE OMELETTES IN THE OVEN
- Prep time: To get the recipe started preheat the oven and prep an 8×8 square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Chop the onion and bell peppers into small pieces.
- Egg mixture: Add the eggs, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, green onion, ½ cup cheddar cheese, green pepper, and ham. The sour cream makes the eggs exceptionally fluffy and delicious. Whisk the egg mixture together until the yolk and egg whites are combined with the cream ingredients.
- Baking time: Pour the ingredients into the prepared baking dish. Cook for 20-25 minutes until the eggs are no longer runny. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and then put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes cooking time.
- Serve: After cooking, take the Omelette from the oven and add any other toppings you want before serving.

VARIATIONS ON OVEN-BAKED OMELETTES
- Cheese: You can try adding different kinds of cheese over the top of your meal. Sharp cheddar cheese, Swiss, Pepper Jack, provolone, or gouda would all taste great with this recipe.
- Bacon: Another way you can change up the ingredients is by replacing the ham with cooked bacon. Cook up a few slices of bacon while the rest of the recipe is baking in the oven. Then break the bacon into pieces to sprinkle it over the top before serving.
- Breakfast Sausage: Instead of bacon, you could try breakfast sausage as an ingredient. Cook the breakfast sausage on the stovetop until there’s no pink meat left. For extra flavor, you can also cook the breakfast sausage with onion.
- Add-ins: For some flavorful additions, try seasonings like fresh flat-leaf parsley, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or paprika. You could also add vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, or red onions.
- Breakfast Sandwich: To make your omelets into a Delicious Breakfast Sandwich, toast and butter 8 slices of bread or English muffins. Once the omelet is done in the oven, use a spatula to break it into 4 pieces and place it in between the bread slices. Add cheese and any of your favorite sandwich fillings.

Made this a few weeks ago over at my sister’s house. We left out the onions because she doesn’t like them. We doubled the recipe and it was fantastic! Heated up really well the next morning, too!
This recipe is delicious! I’ve made this twice and my family loved it!
Made this today and my family ate it all at one sitting. Liked how the sour cream made it fluffy. Used bacon instead of ham, added a few spices and it was delicious. Will be making it again.
Great recipe! Resulted in a rich, creamy egg dish. I was the only one eating so I scaled this down to one serving and baked it in a large ramekin. I did add a little garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Arborist Westminster Co
In the photographs of the omelets, it doesn’t look like an 8 x 8″ pan. It looks rectangular – more like a 9 x 13″ pan. I’m wondering if your recipe lends itself to doubling, and if so, would a 9 x 13″ pan be the correct size for a big batch. The recipe looks good. Nice for a big-family get-together type brunch.
Thank you for catching that error, yes it was a 9×13! I fixed the recipe.
