Prepare the Egg Base

Preheat oven to 450°F. Beat together the eggs and milk until fluffy. Add flour, salt, and pepper, and beat until smooth. Pour into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the eggs are just about set (check early, after about 6 minutes, since every oven is different).

Cook the Vegetables

While the eggs are baking, sauté the onions and bell peppers in butter until the onions are translucent. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.

Assemble the Omelet Roll

Remove the egg base from the oven when it’s almost set. Spread the sautéed vegetables over the top.

Top with Cheese and Bake Briefly

Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Tips for Rolling the Omelet

We’ve been making this dish for years and we finally came up with the easiest way to roll the omelet.  Use two spatulas to help you.  The baked spinach omelet is HOT, so you really don’t want to roll it up with your bare hands.  If you’ve greased the pan well, it’s also slippery.  Use a spatula to first make sure it’s not stuck to the sides.  Next, start rolling from the short end using the spatulas to guide the omelet into a roll.

How to Serve

Transfer to a serving platter, seam side down. Slice and serve immediately.
