Ingredients
Eggs
6 (beaten)
Milk
1 cup (whole, or your choice of milk)
All-purpose flour
1/2 cup (sifted)
Salt
1/2 teaspoon (to taste)
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon (freshly ground)
Cooked ham
1 cup (chopped or 9 slices of deli ham)
Sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup (shredded)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius).
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
3
Sift in the all-purpose flour along with the salt and black pepper. Continue to whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
4
Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking, then pour the egg mixture evenly into the pan.
5
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to set. Keep a close watch, especially around the 6-minute mark, as ovens vary.
6
Once the omelet is almost set but still slightly jiggly in the center, remove it from the oven and evenly distribute the chopped ham or lay the deli ham slices over the top.
7
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese generously across the surface, then return the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
8
Remove the omelet from the oven, and while it's still warm, start on one of the short ends to gently roll the omelet into a tight cylinder.
9
Transfer the rolled omelet seam-side down to a serving dish, and slice into individual portions to serve.
