Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables
- 1/2 cup finely diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small rimmed baking sheet with olive oil or butter, or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the finely diced bell peppers, chopped onion, and chopped fresh spinach, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed within the egg mixture.
- Pour and Spread Egg Mixture: Pour the egg and vegetable mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to gently spread it out so the eggs form an even, thin layer across the sheet.
- Bake the Omelette: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the eggs are set but still soft to the touch.
- Add Cheese and Roll: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the baked eggs. Using a spatula or the parchment paper edges, carefully begin rolling the omelette from one side into a log shape.
- Rest and Slice: Let the rolled omelette rest for about 2 minutes so it holds its shape firmly. Once set, slice the roll into portions for serving.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the slices with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious, protein-packed breakfast.
Notes
- Use finely chopped vegetables to ensure the omelette rolls smoothly without breaking.
- You can customize this dish by adding mushrooms, tomatoes, or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with a plant-based milk and skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.
- For added herbs, try mixing in fresh chives or basil into the egg mixture.
- Make sure not to overbake; the eggs should be just set and still tender for the best rolling texture.
