    This Cheesy Oven Baked Western is a favorite for breakfast or even dinner!  Full of ham, onions, peppers, cheese and surrounded by egg! Total perfection!

    Cheesy Oven Baked Western

    This recipe started as a way to use up leftover ham. We enjoy this Cheesy Oven Baked Western recipe so much I actually buy bigger hams than we need just to make sure I have extra to make this the next day for breakfast or brunch!

    Also, I don't always have heavy cream in the house so we use an extra 3 tablespoons of milk instead.  Honestly, my husband never uses cream when he makes this and I always try to!  The decision is up to you!

    I have also sautéed mushrooms with the onions and this recipe still turned out great. You can add peppers, little broccoli florets or spinach, or cooked sausage or bacon! 

    No matter which ingredients you choose the results are the same. Absolutely delicious! Even though it is no longer a western in the truest sense of the word after you do all that!  Regardless, I am sure no one will complain!

      I am so sorry to hear of your MS diagnosis. I wish you all the best, and so glad you have a loving husband and son to help you. I keep you in my prayers.
      Is the Western Omelet made in an 8/9-inch baking dish, or a 9x13-inch dish. It looks so good. I can't wait to make it!
      Thank you.

        I am so grateful for your kind wishes and prayers! I truly can't thank you enough! Really. That being said. This recipe is best in an eight or nine inch pan. If you have a moment you can see the dish I used in the video. If you use a 9x13 inch pan the egg mixture will be too thin, in my opinion. Please let me know what you think of this recipe after you try it. I would love to hear! It is a definite favorite around here! Take care of you and enjoy the rest of your day! Karin
