Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, red chili flakes, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is light and frothy.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, jalapeño, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Step 4
Spread the cooked vegetable mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring the liquid spreads evenly across the dish.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the omelet is set in the center and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the omelet cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 9
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Spicy Baked Omelet!
