## 👩‍🍳 How to Make Savory Baked Omelet with Vegetables and Ham

### 1. **Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan**
Preheat your oven to **350°F (175°C)**. Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9×9 inches or similar) with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.

### 2. **Sauté the Vegetables**
In a medium pan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the **bell peppers**, **onions**, and **spinach** (or kale), and sauté for about **5 minutes** until the vegetables are tender and the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

### 3. **Whisk the Eggs**
In a large bowl, whisk together the **eggs**, **milk**, **salt**, and **pepper** until well combined and frothy. This will help the omelet become light and fluffy when baked.

### 4. **Combine Everything**
Add the sautéed vegetables and **diced ham** to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with **shredded cheese** for extra flavor and a golden, bubbly finish.

### 5. **Bake the Omelet**
Bake in the preheated oven for **25–30 minutes**, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. You can test the omelet by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s done!

### 6. **Garnish and Serve**
Let the baked omelet cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares or wedges. Garnish with fresh herbs like **parsley**, **chives**, or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.
