We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat your oven or camp oven, its temperature should be 200°C.

  • Step 2: Grease a 20-23cm square baking dish, or use a square, deep-sided foil tray but use a dish that fits inside your camp oven.

  • Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and cream or milk and add the remaining ingredients and stir until well mixed.

  • Step 4: Pour ingredients into the prepared baking dish and place it in the hot oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked right through.

  • Step 5: TIP AND VARIATIONS - Cooking time of 25 to 30 minutes will depend on how deep your dish is. Make sure you place your baking dish on a trivet at the bottom of your camp oven before baking. For an evening meal, you could serve the omelette with a simple green salad and some fresh bread. You can add whatever you want to your omelette, such as mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, cooked sausage pieces, green capsicum, spinach, fresh herbs and more. Take time to sauté the onion, bacon and vegetables in a little oil or butter before adding them to the egg mixture. It is worth the effort as you’ll get a much better flavour.
