How to make an omelet for many without sweating over the stove while you flip and fold a hundred times? I’ve hacked the traditional recipe for you (you’re welcome). By baking the eggs and toppings in a jelly roll pan, you can then roll it all up into a tight spiral, slice it into portions, and share. It’s very easy, and looks pretty fancy, too.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4–6 servings

Ingredients

Nonstick cooking spray
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 scant teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
1 scant teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess water
1 (15-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. Coat a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray, line it with parchment paper with an overhang of a few inches on both sides, and lightly spray the parchment paper.

    Step 2

    Place the flour in a small bowl and slowly pour the milk over the flour. Whisk until smooth. Add the cream and whisk until smooth.

    Step 3

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, mustard, soy sauce, and pepper. Add the cream mixture and whisk well by hand for about 3 minutes, until it is fully aerated and has some big bubbles. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and distribute the spinach, artichoke hearts, and 1/2 cup of the cheese evenly over the top.

    Step 4

    Bake for about 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is beginning to set. Remove from the oven, sprinkle 1 cup of cheese on top, and bake for 4 to 6 minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

    Step 5

    Lift the long end of the parchment paper and tightly roll the omelet to create a long cylinder. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese and the chives. Slice and serve!
