OVEN DENVER OMELET

I like omelets but don’t always have time to stand by the stove. That’s why I favor this oven-baked variety that I can quickly pop into the oven at a moment’s notice. My family frequently requests this for Sunday brunch. They always empty the dish.

My husband cannot tolerate green peppers, so I use fresh snow peas from my garden in any dish that calls for green pepper. They freeze well, too, so I have a good supply all year long.
