Notes
Tip: For that “folded” omelet look, cut into 6 to 8 long rectangles and fold in half.
To bake a larger omelette in an 11x17-inch half sheet pan, use 18 eggs and increase the other ingredients slightly
Tip: Use the sheet pan to bake the bacon for 15 minutes at 375 F. Let the pan cool but use the bacon drippings to grease the pan instead of melted butter.
You can substitute 2 tablespoons water for the milk for a a light and fluffy omelet without adding calories.
