If you want to, you can make this dish for a crowd by baking it in the oven and multiplying the ingredients by four.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 9X13 Pyrex dish with cooking spray. Set aside. Then, in a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients except for the olive oil and the tomatoes. (You won’t need the olive oil at all if you’re baking this Veggie Omelet)

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking dish, and then bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the omelet is firm and cooked through. Note: Some oven times may vary!

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before topping with your tomatoes and serving.

Then, serve with your favorite breakfast sides.
