What is In A Western Omelette
Eggs – You can use any variety of eggs, or you could even use egg whites if you want it to be a bit healthier.
Milk – If you need a dairy free milk, go ahead and swap.
Diced Ham – I have bought pre-diced ham and it works great for mixing.
Peppers – For this omlette recipe I used red and green bell peppers to offer a sweet and savory flavor.
Seasoning – Salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cheese – Sharp cheddar is what I used, but you can use any variety of cheese. Or you can even use pepper jack.
Tools Used for the Baked Western Omelette Recipe
Here are a few of the tools I used when making my baked omelettes. I love Pyrex products, they are my tried and true.
I have had them for years and they hold up in the dishwasher and oven! These are the ones I used in this recipe!
How to Make
Full directions for this omelet western recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Preheat the oven and prep pan.
- Whisk up eggs with the milk to scramble them. Then add in the seasonings.
- Stir in the diced veggies, cheese and ham.
- Pour in pan and bake as directed.
Helpful Tips
- Peppers | If you don’t like your peppers to have a slight crunch to them, saute them with a little oil in a pan before you add them into your omelette.
- Proper Size Pan | Make sure you bake this in an 8×8 pan. If you go with a larger pan it will thin out the omelette and you will end up with a less fluffy omelette. You are welcome to double the recipe and pour it into a 9×13 pan.
- Milk | I have gotten asked does it matter what milk you use. We use 1% and as you can see our breakfast omelette baked up nice and fluffy. So feel free to use whatever percentage of milk you have.
I also prefer to whip my eggs by hand, for that light and fluffy aspect, but you could always use a stand mixer. I also don’t like extra dishes, so 1 whisk vs a stand mixer wins every single time.

Can I Use This Omelete Batter To Cook On Stove
You can but it would turn into more of a scrambled mix, instead of an omelet. Since you have all your veggies in there still taste great. I love the omelet mixture in oven, since it turns out so light and fluffy.

Kelsey says
If you are baking in a 9×13 pan I would say around 40-50 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer wet when you stick toothpick in.
