Baked Denver Omelet

  4.8 – 545 reviews  • Omelet Recipes

I overindulged and purchased the large package of waffles at Costco®. As soon as the kids became weary of them, I simply had to devise a way to get rid of them. What do you know, the kids devoured this quick-to-make treat and the waffles were gone in no time! For this recipe, I’ve used handmade waffles, which work just as well. Fresh strawberries, chocolate chips, and raisins have all been added; they taste great! Use your imagination to add unique toppings!

This recipe was super easy to make it tasted fabulous I did add a little extra cheese on top once it was done before serving but even without that it would have been fabulous. I was hosting a bunch of guests for graduation this was easy to premake and leave and disposable pans and pop in the oven real quick as more guests arrive.

My family loves this recipe. I cook it for supper especially when it’s raining or snowing. It’s a feel good, hot and cozy feeling. So easy to make and you can add just about anything you want.
Daniel Williams
So easy! Feeds 4 adults easy!!! Delish
Rhonda Short DDS
It was really easy to make, and delicious! You can add or change the basic ingredients to your liking!
Sandra Morris
Made this for Father’s Day brunch & it was a hit! I sautéed the ingredients too. For more protein and fluff, I added a cup of small curd cottage cheese. A little extra protein and keto friendly. I will definitely be making this again & again! Yum!
Frank Thompson
I added a little more cheese and used Canadian Bacon instead.

Very tasty and easy recipe. I have a concern with the nutrition information accuracy. I ran the ingredients through an app designed to estimate the calorie content of a recipe and determined that the recipe as written is off by more than 100 calories per serving despite using reduce fat cheddar and 1% milk instead of whole. It is probably off by more if made as written. These numbers should not vary by this much. It got me questioning AllRecipes methods on nutrition values
Gloria Harrison
Perfect as written. Tasted grest and was sooooooo easy. I agree with others, if you make your own concoction and it does turn out right, dont low rate the recipe YOU chose not to follow!
James Howard
Loved it
Jordan Jimenez
This is my go to egg dish I can make as is, add more ingredients based on what everyone likes.
Brian Rocha
Perfect the way it was written. I made it for brunch, had to double it to feed the whole family. Everyone loved it and it was easy to make.

Fantastic recipe. For the first time I made it exactly as written – and it came out perfect! I’ve had a hard time getting things like this to come out cooked enough, without being dry. The measurements for everything were spot on, and it came out perfect! Lightly browned, fully cooked, yet not dry. We plan on using this as the base for all future types of omelets. Just perfect!
Michael Rios
Excellent dish! I made just as directed except I subbed 3/4 cp bacon + 1/4 potato for the ham, and used shredded provolone/mozz instead of cheddar. Cooked just as directed, came out beautifully!
Jamie Barker
Very good. Was looking for a low carb – no sugar breakfast for our Sunday morning get togethers to meet everyone’s dietary needs. While at church Mom pops this into the oven and is done when we return. Multiple thumbs up.

I’m really not a fan of omelettes but decided to give this a try. I substituted ham for Jimmy Dean sausage patties, about 6. Baked it in a 10 inch pie pan. It turned out delicious. Husband loved it too. Oh I also sprinkled some extra cheddar cheese on top with 5 minutes left.
Brandy Garcia
This was great. It was simple enough to make without doing too much in the morning. My family is vegetarian, so I used 4 beyond breakfast sausages, which was 1 cup of sausage after cooking and dicing. Other than that, I used cream because it was what I had on hand and followed the recipe from there. Will definitely make again.
Robert Ponce
Really good. The only change I made was to lower my oven temperature slightly as it runs hot.
Ashley Green
Favorite go to dish!
Jimmy Johnson
This has all the flavor of a Denver Omelet and a lot easier to make. This is especially true if you are feeding more than 1 or 2 people because you don’t have to worry about your first omelet getting cold while you are making the others. One thing to note, I made this is an oven safe skillet. This cuts down on dishes as you need to sauté the vegetables first anyway. Also, this will puff up when you make it so give yourself room in the pan.
Amanda Walker
excellent!!! I had leftover ham from Christmas it was delicious. what a perfect, light recipe for breakfast or dinner. thank you
