Baked Oven Omelet

I love recipes from Real Mom Kitchen. I browsed all of her blog recipes and picked out a few that I wanted to try. This one was another one from her compilation. It was pretty tasty with a nice strong flavor, mostly contributed by the green onions. If you don't like soggy bread texture, this may not be the recipe for you. It has a very unusual texture that might be mistaken for ALMOST soggy bread. But it sure does taste good. It requires a little bit more work and time, but both my husband and I enjoyed it. I got this recipe here.

BAKED OVEN OMELET
from Real Mom Kitchen

1 loaf of bread
3 cups of grated cheddar cheese (I think the sharper the better)
1/2 pound chopped ham
1/4 cup chopped green onion
5 eggs beaten
2 1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 Tbsp. prepared mustard

Trim crust off bread. Save crust for another use. As you layer the bread, butter each side of the bread. I just use my tub of margarine for this. Place a layer of bread in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan, just enough buttered slices to cover the bottom of the pan. Then layer 1 cup of the cheese, half the ham, and half the green onion. Place another layer of buttered bread slices. Top with 1 cup cheese, remaining ham, and remaining green onion. Beat egg, milk, salt, paprika, and mustard together. Pour over layers in pan. Top with remaining cheese and refrigerate overnight. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes, until knife comes out clean. Serves 9-12.
