Denver omelette crescent bake in baking dish

I love pancakes and waffles and muffins and all types of breakfast foods, but if I’m being totally honest, my breakfast life almost always consists of peanut or almond butter toast + fruit. Every now and then, however, I crave an omelette. Plus toast. I always need/want the carbs.

That’s one of the many reasons I love this Denver omelette crescent bake — it’s like a big-batch variation of a classic omelette made with cheese, ham, peppers and onions all on top of a soft, buttery crescent crust. It’s the best of all breakfast worlds.

I used Immaculate Baking Co.’s organic refrigerated crescent rolls for the base of this recipe — it saves you the time it would take to make a homemade dough without sacrificing flavor. You press the dough into the bottom of a baking dish, bake it until it’s just set, then top it with all the classic Denver-style omelette ingredients plus cheese (obvi). Let it bake for a few more minutes and boom — omelettes for all.

We have enjoyed this bake for weekend breakfasts, but it’s also made an appearance as brinner with a greens salad on the side. It should go without saying, too, that the omelette fillings are totally versatile — you can swap out the ham, peppers and onions for equal amounts of your own favorite ingredients. I’m thinking spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, or bacon crumbles with fresh tomatoes and then topping it with avocado just before serving. And now I’m drooling.

Step aside, peanut butter toast. I love you, but this omelette bake is here to stay.

    This has become my go-to egg bake recipe! The step to pre-bake the dough until it’s just set is critical to helping the bottom get golden brown and not soggy. I also love that you can customize the meat/veggies/cheese based on what you have on hand. Thanks for rescuing me from soggy bottom egg bakes 🙂

    Stephanie-making this today. I bought the crescent roll sheets. I have to omit the ham but will add sautéed mushrooms and fingerling potatoes cut up. I will add cheddar and Swiss cheese and a dash of dried basil. I can hardly wait for it to come out of the oven!
