Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Pro tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.

Prepare the vegetables

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 5 minutes until softened.

Pro tip: Avoid browning the vegetables to maintain a fresh flavour.

Mix the eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Pro tip: Whisking well incorporates air, making the omelet fluffy.

Combine ingredients

Stir the sautéed vegetables and spinach into the egg mixture, followed by the shredded cheese.

Pro tip: Ensure even distribution of ingredients in the mixture.

Pour into baking dish

Pour the egg mixture into a greased 23 cm (9-inch) square baking dish.

Pro tip: Use a non-stick or glass dish for best results.

Bake the omelet

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the omelet is set and the top is slightly golden.

Pro tip: Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the centre; it should come out clean.
