Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (such as unsweetened cashewmilk)
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 8 ounces diced cooked ham bacon or sausage may be substituted
  • 0.25 cup green onions sliced into thin rounds, plus more for garnishing to taste

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. To a large bowl, add the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk to combine.
  3. Add 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, and green onions to the egg mixture, and stir to combine.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheese over the top of the omelet mixture.
  6. Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the omelet is set and lightly golden. (Baking time may vary by oven and pan; start checking at 40 minutes).
  7. Garnish with additional green onions to taste, if desired, and serve immediately. Omelet is best warm and fresh.
