Baked Brunch Omelet

By cacelias

Had something similar to this a long time ago at Vera's Wedding Shower, that Mrs. Connelly hosted for her. (Jim Connelly's Mom from NTE). It was delicious and I have never forgotten that dish! I use bacon instead of ham, but that's just my preference! Great for Christmas Day breakfast, or Easter, Thanksgiving, anytime you are expecting a large crowd. Enjoy!
