Found this recipe in the Food Section in the Chronicle newspaper quite awhile ago. This dish is supposedly adapted from Omelettes, Souffles & Frittatas , (Chronicle Books 1999). NOTE: I always make this omelet with Ham instead of Proscuitto, and always, always use Gruyere cheese. Very easy dish to prepare, and tastes wonderful.
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ground white pepper
1 dash nutmeg
1 -1 1/2 ounce thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into strips
1 1/4 cups shredded jarlsberg cheese or 1 1/4 cups shredded gruyere cheese or 1 1/4 cups shredded swiss cheese
2 teaspoons butter, melted
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Butter a 3-cup baking dish, about 6 inches in diameter.
3. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until just blended.
4. Beat in the milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, prosciutto and cheese.
5. Pour into the baking dish, drizzle melted butter over the top.
6. Bake for 20-30 minutes , or until set and lightly browned.
