Baked Denver Omelet

Baked Denver Omelet- ham, cheddar cheese, onion, and bell pepper combine to make a delicious low carb breakfast. Just 25 minutes in the oven and you have a baked omelet that’s easy to reheat all week.

It’s a hearty, healthy, and delicious way to start the day. Eggs are my go-to low carb breakfast, but I can easily grow tired of them. Cooking them different ways helps keep them interesting. This Baked Denver Omelet really packs the flavor.

It takes a little time to prepare, but it makes 6 servings and can be refrigerated for at least 3 to 4 days before it starts to taste tired.

I love to up the flavor even more and serve it with some hot sauce. Chipotle TABASCO is my favorite hot sauce to serve with eggs. It’s not as spicy as regular TABASCO sauce and has a really awesome smokey flavor.

You can chop the veggies and ham as small or as big as you like. It’s totally personal preference.

You can also turn this recipe into Denver Omelet Muffin Cups. Just divide it into 6 muffin cups and bake until cooked through. Then you have individual portioned breakfasts ready to go for the week.

Loaded with so much ham and lots of veggies for goodness in every bite!

This protein packed baked omelet is the perfect way to start your day!
