BAKED HAM AND CHEESE OMELET

BAKED HAM AND CHEESE OMELET 

Fluffy • Savory • Crowd-Friendly

Why This Recipe Stands Out

Unlike stovetop omelets, this baked version delivers even cooking, ultra-fluffy texture, and consistent results. It’s ideal for serving multiple people at once while keeping the flavors of smoky ham and melted cheese front and center.
