Sheet Pan Omelets
Here’s one heck of an omelet hack: It allows you to make 6 flavorful omelets… all at once… in the oven!
Ingredients
- 8 extra-large whole eggs
- 4 extra-large egg whites
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 to 4 tablespoons chopped herbs, optional (like dill, basil, parsley, thyme)
- Optional toppings: sautéed veggies, bacon, sausage, cheese, sliced tomatoes, onions, lox, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Liberally mist an 11- x 17-inch baking sheet with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk all of the eggs so they’re nice and frothy. Stir in the salt, pepper and optional herbs. Pour egg mixture into a standard baking sheet and decorate with preferred toppings. You can either decorate the entire sheet pan with the same flavor theme, or divide into two or three columns and vary it up, like I did.
- Bake in oven on middle rack for 18 to 20 minutes (make sure the rack is level so the eggs cook evenly). Remove from oven, let cool and cut into 6 jumbo squares.
Notes
Joyful note: Be sure to liberally coat the sheet pan with nonstick spray so the finished omelet doesn’t stick. Additionally, once cooked and cut, scrape underneath with a spatula to pick them up and separate from the pan. It’s the key to keeping them intact.
Store leftovers in the fridge; wrap each square individually, then warm in microwave for 30 seconds or so before eating.
