Baked Denver Omelet

Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper (chop veggies small)
• 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
• 1/3 cup chopped yellow onion
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 cup (heaping) chopped cooked ham (I used a fully cooked bone-in ham steak)
• 8 large eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Sliced avocados, for serving (optional)
• Chopped chives and hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 7 by 11-inch or 9 by 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sprinkle ham into an even layer in bottom of baking dish.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add red and green bell peppers and onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Evenly pour pepper mixture over ham layer then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs and milk until well blended. Season with salt and pepper and stir, then pour over mixture in baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until puffy and set, about 22 - 25 minutes. Cut and serve warm with avocado slices and optional chives and hot sauce.
