Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 eggs
1 c milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg, freshly grated
2 oz prosciutto or ham, julienned
2 c gruyere cheese or swiss cheese, grated
1/2 c sourdough french bread cubes (1/2-inch cubes)
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat an oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart round baking dish, 9 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until blended. Stir in the milk, salt, nutmeg, prosciutto and cheese until evenly distributed. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  • 3. In a small bowl, toss the bread cubes with the olive oil to coat. Scatter the bread cubes evenly over the egg mixture.
  • 4. Bake until the omelet is golden brown on top and slightly puffed, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, cut into wedges.
