Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Liberally spray a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Pour melted butter onto pan using a pastry brush to coat all sides.
Arrange bacon, spinach, green onions and bell pepper on pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese.
In a medium size bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, if using. Pour evenly into pan. Sprinkle top with reserved cheese.
Place into oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check and gently shake pan to see if eggs are set. If not, bake for 5 more minutes and check again. You may broil for a few minutes at the end to brown the top, if desired.
Cut into 12 even squares and serve on biscuits, as an egg sandwich on toast or bagels with your favorite breakfast sides.
Store chilled in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat for 12-15 seconds in the microwave.
Notes
Vegetables - You can use different veggies like steamed broccoli, mushrooms or cherry tomatoes. You could also use kale in place of spinach.
Egg Whites - You can use egg whites in place of whole eggs. Please note, the flavor will not be as rich, nor will it puff up quite as much due to the decreased volume.
Cheese - I use a combination of Monterey jack cheese and cheddar cheese for this omelet, but you can switch it out using your favorite flavor. Pepper jack cheese for more spice, gooey mozzarella cheese or gruyere cheese.
Protein - You can use ham, cooked sausage, Canadian bacon, chorizo sausage or any other protein that you have on hand. It's a great way to use up leftover holiday ham and stretch it into another meal.
Alternate Pan Option - This omelet recipe can be halved and baked in an 8x8-inch pan for a smaller batch.
