2. Prepare Vegetables: In a sauté pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and diced tomatoes. Season with Cajun spice according to your taste. If using, deglaze the pan with Marsala wine for added flavor. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Prepare Bacon: While the vegetables cook, microwave the bacon until it is cooked but not crispy. Tear the bacon into small pieces.

4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. There’s no need to whip the mixture, just ensure it’s evenly mixed.

5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked tomatoes, bacon pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Adjust the Cajun spice seasoning to your preference.

6. Assemble and Bake: Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick 10x7x1-inch baking pan. If available, place this pan inside a larger air bake pan to prevent over-baking of the sides and bottom.

7. Bake: Bake the omelet in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the amount of ingredients added, until the mixture is set and the top is lightly golden brown.

8. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve the Cajun omelet warm, with warmed salsa on the side for extra flavor.

Tips

• Make Ahead: This Cajun omelet can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. It’s best to wrap individual portions for storing.
• Variations: Feel free to customize the omelet with your favorite vegetables or meats. Adding Cajun spice gives it a spicy kick, but adjust according to your taste preference.
• Oven Setup: Using a larger pan underneath the baking dish helps distribute heat evenly and prevents the bottom from overcooking.
