On rare occasions, I have the opportunity to just turn on The Food Network to watch whatever happens to be on at that moment. I recently had a chance to do that and saw an episode with Giada De Laurentiis. She was making breakfast recipes including an oven baked Swiss and Sausage Omelet.

The recipe below is one from that episode, but it’s my Real Mom Kitchenized version. The original recipe used a different sausage and less of it. Originally the recipe also called for Gruyere cheese, which is hard to find in a regular grocery store, plus it’s on the pricey side. I swapped it out for swiss cheese.

Instead of making individual omelets, this oven baked Swiss and sausage omelet recipe makes one big omelet for a crowd in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. This recipe turned out delish. I really loved the flavor that the onion and red pepper gave this recipe.

I stumbled across your blog last week and I love it! I made this Sausage Omelet last night, but used green peppers instead of red, and cheddar instead of swiss. It was delicious! We made the Caramel Apples the other day and they were also delicious! I already have several of your recipes on my upcoming meal plan! Thank you!!
