Baked Omelette Casserole
A few weeks ago I had some leftover chopped ham along with a green bell pepper and tomato that needed to be used before they spoiled. I did an ingredient search on and found this recipe, which I’ve adapted here.
I was happy with how my version turned out, except for the kale. The original recipe didn’t call for that, but I thought it would be a great addition. I was wrong. 😂 Next time I’ll try spinach.
The original recipe also made it in a cast iron skillet, which I don’t have, so I assembled it as a casserole instead. The recipe isn’t so wonderful that I’ll make it a lot, but it was good enough to make again when I need to use up veggies and/or ham. And surprisingly, the casserole tasted just as good as leftovers itself!
