Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs (or 4 large eggs + 6 large egg whites)
0.5 cup milk
0.25 teaspoon salt
3.5 ounces diced cooked ham (lean uncured deli ham)
0.13 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or Gruyere/Cheddar)
0.13 cup finely chopped fresh chives
0.25 cup sliced asparagus
0.25 cup frozen peas

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9‑inch baking dish.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until smooth.
Stir in the diced ham, grated Parmesan, chopped chives, sliced asparagus, and frozen peas.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until set and lightly golden.
Allow to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm, garnished with extra chives if desired.

Notes

Tip: For a vegetarian version, omit the ham and add diced bell peppers or mushrooms. This omelet stores well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently in the microwave or oven. Pair with a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
