Can I use only whole eggs or only egg whites?

Absolutely! The mix here balances richness and lightness, but using all whole eggs will give a creamier texture, while all egg whites will lighten both the flavor and calorie count. Just be sure to slightly increase your salt and seasonings if skipping yolks.

Do I need Greek yogurt? What’s a good substitute?

Greek yogurt gives amazing creaminess and a little tang, but if you don’t have it, try cottage cheese, ricotta, or even a splash of milk or cream in a pinch. Each swap will alter the flavor just a touch, but the omelette will still be delicious.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Of course! Simply omit the cheese and substitute a dairy-free yogurt (unsweetened is a must) or use a splash of nut milk in the egg mixture. The result will still be packed with flavor, just a bit less creamy.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes! Use a larger skillet or divide between two pans. You may need to add a minute or two to the bake time. This recipe is very forgiving and perfect for feeding a crowd.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready to finish the omelette quickly once assembled.
Saute Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli, red and orange bell peppers, and onions. Saute for several minutes until they begin to soften and become tender.
Add Ham and Seasonings: Add the cubed ham, salt and pepper to taste, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir and cook for 1 minute longer to allow the flavors to develop.
Add Spinach: Place the spinach into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the leaves are just wilted but still bright green.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and Greek yogurt until the mixture is frothy and well combined.
Combine and Remove from Heat: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables and ham in the skillet. Remove the skillet from the stove to prevent the eggs from cooking too quickly on the bottom.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the omelette mixture.
Bake the Omelette: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are just set and the cheese is slightly golden.
Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

You can substitute or add any of your favorite vegetables, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
For a vegetarian version, simply omit the ham.
Be sure to use an ovenproof skillet to avoid transferring the omelette to another dish before baking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
