Fluffy Oven-Baked Omelet

Ingredients:

• • 6 large eggs
  • 300 ml milk
  • Salt (to taste)

• Optional: pepper, herbs, or cheese for extra flavor

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • • In a mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and add 300 ml of milk.
     • Add salt to taste (and optional pepper or herbs for extra flavor).
   • Use a fork or a whisk to gently beat the eggs. Don’t over-whisk; just lightly stir to combine the eggs and milk. This will help create a fluffy texture when baked.
3. Bake the Omelet:
   • • Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish or oven-safe pan.
   • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed up and golden on top.
4. Serve:
   • • Once baked, remove the omelet from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings.

Serving Suggestions:

• • Serve with a side of fresh tomato and cucumber salad for a light, healthy meal.

• • Add a sprinkle of grated cheese or fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before baking.
  • Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast for extra fiber.
  • Serve with sautéed vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms.

• Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top for added richness.

Cooking Tips:

• • Don’t overbeat the eggs—gently stir with a fork to maintain a light texture.

• • You can halve the recipe for a smaller portion by using 3 eggs and 150 ml of milk.
  • Feel free to add your favorite ingredients like cheese, ham, or vegetables for a customized omelet.
  • Keep an eye on the omelet while baking to prevent it from over-baking or burning.
