Since our CSA began, we have been inundated by fresh vegetables.
I’m not complaining.
This week, instead of a stir fry, we combined our veggies into an oven omelet. I thought about making an omelet roll up, but decided against it at the last minute. I wasn’t sure how the pieces of bok choy would act in thin slices of egg.
Because it’s made from chopped veggies, eggs, and cheese, an oven omelet is extremely versatile.
It works with almost any combination of fresh or frozen veggies. I’ve even made it with an onion and a can of green chili peppers.
This recipe is very forgiving.
Spicy Oven Baked Omelet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup onion chopped
- 1 large bunch bok choy chopped and separated into greens and whites
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 large bunch spinach chopped
- 12 eggs
- 3/4 cup skim milk
- 3 cups Cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 handful cilantro leaves snipped
- Salsa & sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Melt butter in a large skillet.
- Saute the onion and white parts of the bok choy until they are just beginning to soften.
- Add the garlic, green parts of the bok choy, and spinach and cook another minute or two longer, until the onions are crisp-tender.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and half of the shredded cheese.
- Pour vegetables into a round baking dish.
- Pour eggs over the veggies.
- Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then the cilantro leaves.
- Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 minutes, until the egg is set.
- Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Absolutely! I’ve never eaten it for brunch or breakfast, actually. We had it for dinner and then I hate the leftovers for lunch. But, yes, it is delicious and it uses up lots of veggies.
