milk
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
salt
1/4 teaspoon

Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons

2 1/4 cups (divided)

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
Line the bottom and sides of a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper. Set aside.
3
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and milk, and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4
Add in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until well combined and free of lumps.
5
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are light and frothy. Slowly incorporate the cream cheese mixture into the eggs, stirring until thoroughly blended.
6
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed, firm to the touch, and slightly golden.
7
Once baked, remove the omelet from the oven and immediately spread the Dijon mustard evenly across the top.
8
Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the mustard, followed by the chopped ham and sliced green onions. Finish with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
9
Starting from a short side of the omelet, carefully roll it up while peeling away the parchment paper as you go. Be gentle to maintain the omelet's structure.
10
Once rolled, place the omelet roll seam side down on the baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the roll with any remaining cheese.
11
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
12
Remove from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
