Enjoy all of the delicious, fresh zucchini from your garden in a simple and healthy Zucchini and Parmesan Baked Omelet -- plus a handful of other easy zucchini recipes! This easy egg casserole is a quick prep-ahead breakfast, brunch, or dinner for the warm summer months!
Who doesn't love a light, fluffy omelet?! But they're kind of like pancakes -- the end result is great, but the process can feel tedious. Standing at the stove flipping omelet after omelet to feed my hungry family is NOT my idea of a good time. I never quite get the flip right, the fillings fall out, it's not cooked through the center, or I just end up with a pile of scrambled eggs!
When I was looking for some new zucchini recipes to enjoy the season's produce, I instantly thought of adding them to one of my beloved baked omelets. Regular readers know that my Ham and Cheese Baked Omelet and my Baked Western Omelet have been some of my favorite go-to brunch recipes for years.
These Easy Zucchini Recipes Are Delicious And Fuss Free
They only require a few minutes to stir together, and then I pop the dish in the oven and my job is done. It's such an easy and healthy way to serve eggs to a large group without micromanaging a skillet!
The flavors in this particular omelet were inspired by my classic Zucchini Pie. This is just a lighter version of that dish, and it's equally versatile. You can enjoy my baked omelet warm out of the oven for brunch; bake it in advance and eat it at room temperature for supper with a side salad and toast; or keep it in the refrigerator and reheat it for breakfast on busy weekday mornings!

I love the idea of a baked omelet! I hate flipping them too, and am not good at it, so this baked version sounds wonderful! And what a great way to use up all of that zucchini I have lying around. This sounds delicious!
This is a great idea for when my adult kids and grandkids spend the weekend. We always have a leisurely breakfast together. I like this low carb idea that I could make in advance and bake that morning.. It would free me up and take away some of the stressful individual omelette making.
Totally! I hope that you all enjoy it! It's definitely a less stressful way to make eggs! 🙂
Yummm! I love baked egg dishes and this looks so tasty!

17 pages not printer friendly that's costly not for me
If you hit the print button that's located on the page (where the actual recipe is) it should only be 2 pages. Hope this helps!
Exactly! Thanks, Jaime!
