Spring’s Finest Baked Omelet is the easiest way to serve eggs to a crowd! Bursting with fresh asparagus, chives, peas, ham, and cheese, this healthy breakfast casserole celebrates all of the season’s most delicious ingredients!

By now it’s probably pretty obvious that I LOVE a baked omelet. If I add bread, I’ll call it a “strata,” but the idea is the same — toss some delicious ingredients into a casserole dish at your convenience, and bake when you’re ready to eat.

There’s no need to stand at the stove flipping omelets, stirring scrambled eggs, or fussing with the crust on a quiche. It’s as easy and delicious as brunch gets!

I also appreciate the fact that this holiday-worthy dish tastes great at room temperature, so you don’t have to worry about keeping it piping hot while you get the rest of your brunch squared away. But there’s no reason that this baked omelet needs to be reserved for Easter Sunday.

Oh, no!! In fact, I’d say that I have a baked omelet stashed in our refrigerator about every other week for quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner options that I can reheat as needed. Just bake the omelet, slice it when cool, and keep the whole tray covered or wrapped in individual slices.

With about 1 minute in the microwave, you’re ready to go — and there are no extra pots, pans, or dishes to wash!

My Baked Western Omelet is a classic, and it’s delicious at any time of year. But I wanted to create a twist on the original favorite by showcasing some of Spring’s quintessential produce — including asparagus, chives, and peas.

Add some ham (because it’s Easter), and some cheese (because everything’s better with cheese), and you have a light, fresh, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying brunch casserole ready to go…with very little effort on your part!

Serve your omelet with some fresh berries (hello, Spring!) and some toast, English muffins, a 4-Ingredient Raspberry Danish, or even some Morning Glory Muffins. It’s the perfect savory addition to your Easter brunch…or to any weekday meal!

Enjoy, and Happy Spring!

  1. What a pretty omelet, Blair! I’ve never made a baked kind before, but I love this a lot better than the regular stove top version. Sounds so delicious with the fresh veggies in here! I know my husband would love this, too. Sounds like breakfast for dinner is in order! 🙂

    1. Thanks, Gayle! Totally — try this for dinner! And then just reheat the leftovers for an easy breakfast the next day! 🙂

  2. Yum! I love all of the goodies that you’ve packed into this baked omelet! I’d love having this in my refrigerator for busy weekday mornings!

  3. I do the same with baking an egg dish on the weekends for quick breakfast during the week. You have so many good egg dishes! I want to try your crockpot one. That looks convenient!

  4. Mmmm yes please! This is such a light yet hearty spring breakfast. TOTAL weekend comfort food! I love recipes like this!

  5. This looks fabulous! I’m totally going to try one of your omelette creations! I like how you put it all in one pan. I was doing it in mini muffin tins and it’s a pain to clean so got away from doing it. But I love how it’s quick breakfast option!

    1. Thanks, Kristine! Yes — I’ve made egg muffins before too, but I agree — they’re harder to clean up and (for me) they’re too small! I like a big ol’ slice of this!

  6. I’d eat that bake cold too! am i weird? haha room temp, hot, cold.. it’s all good to me cause i love this flavor!

  7. 5 stars
