Pizza Omelet

This baked egg dish is actually more frittata than omelet. But it's a great way to have eggs for four ready at once.

Makes one 12-inch omelet

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 dozen eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1 cup sliced mushroom
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ½ pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1 cup pizza or pasta sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  1. Place eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a blender. Pulse until thick and well blended.

  2. Butter a 12″ pizza or quiche pan. Sprinkle bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, and bacon evenly over the pan. Pour egg mixture into the pan and bake at 350° for 20 minutes.

  3. Remove omelet from the oven. Spread sauce over the top and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

  4. Return to the oven and bake another 5 to 6 minutes — just long enough for the cheese to melt. Remove from oven, cut into four wedges, and serve.
