How to make Baked Denver Omelet Breakfast Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
Step 2: In a pan, heat the butter and oil. Then, add the ginger and garlic. Saute for about 1 minute before adding in the mushrooms. Stir fry the mushrooms for about 3 to 4 minutes over high heat. Next, add the bell peppers and continue to stir fry for another 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes more over high heat. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat off before stirring in the ham.
Step 3: Beat the eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Step 4: Using oil, grease a 10 x 8-inch baking dish. Place the mixture into the prepared pan and evenly pour the egg mixture. On top, sprinkle the grated cheese, if using. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and completely cooked.
Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and allow the casserole to rest for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve. Or keep this casserole for later.
Notes:
Based on your preference, you can slice the veggies smaller or larger.
You can add cream, grated cheese, milk, or half-and-half to the eggs. Before adding the whisked eggs, make sure to quickly stir fry the veggies over high heat.
Divide the cooled veggies into muffin tins to make baked Denver omelette muffin cups. On top, pour the egg. Place in the oven or microwave until golden brown and completely cooked. If baking put it in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. If cooking in the microwave, cook on full power beginning with 2 minutes and adding 30 seconds until the edges are completely cooked.
Into your desired size, slice the casserole and keep them in an airtight container and freeze. To reheat, pop in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
