on Jan 30, 2018, Updated Nov 12, 2021 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day for me, and I am always looking for ways to make the first meal as healthy and filling as possible. And this baked Denver Omelette Breakfast Casserole fits the bill perfectly! Apart from being pretty quick and easy, it is a great and delicious way to increase your daily veggie intake. Additionally, it’s a great meal-prep recipe that refrigerates really well and stays good for up to 3 days. I simply slice it up into bars and store it in the fridge to re-heat for breakfast. This makes 6 squares, which is perfect for two meals between the two of us. If you are a larger family, even better because you don’t have to make individual omelettes. Bake one and everyone is happy!
Richa’s top tips to make the best baked denver omelette
I like to cut the veggies roughly into squares which are half an inch in size. But you can easily cut them smaller or larger based on your preferenceThe usual ingredients for a Denver omelette are onions, green peppers, mushrooms and ham, but I’ve spiced things up a bit by adding some ginger and garlic along with a little sriracha for some heat. Feel free to add grated cheese, cream, milk or half and half while whisking the egg.It’s important to quickly stir fry the veggies on high heat before adding the whisked eggs. The veggies leave a little water and if you skip this step, the final dish might be too gooey or even watery in parts.You can also turn this recipe into baked Denver omelet muffin cups by dividing the cooked veggies into muffin tins and then pouring the egg on top. Bake or microwave till cooked through and golden brown.
Let’s just say I’ll be making a lot of this baked denver omelet because easy breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.
