This recipe makes breakfast easy: crumbled butter crackers form a crunchy crust for a tasty ham and cheese omelet.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 56 buttery crackers (2 c. fine cracker crumbs)
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 6 large Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 3/4 c. whole milk
  • 2 tbsp. unbleached all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper 
  • 1 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 c. diced deli black forest ham (about 6 oz.)
  • 1/4 c. fresh parsley leaves, chopped

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease an 8-by-8 baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment. Grease parchment.

  2. 2

    In a food processor pulse the crackers until fine crumbs. Add the butter and pulse until combined. Pour the cracker mixture into the prepared baking dish and press into a firm even crust. 

  3. 3

    Bake the crust until lightly golden, about 14 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Stir 1 cup of the cheese, ham, and parsley into the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture over the hot crust.

  5. 5

    Bake until the egg is set, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 15 minutes, then slice into sticks and serve.
