Preparation
Savory Version: Bell Pepper, Spinach & Pancetta Omelet
Preheat the oven to 350°F and position the rack in the center. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a serrated knife, cut off the tops of the 6 croissants. Gently press the inside with your hands to create more space for the filling. Place them on the baking sheet and set aside.
Make the filling. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp butter. Add 1 to 2 chopped shallots and 2 minced garlic cloves, then cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in 4 handfuls of baby spinach and sauté for about 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk 5 eggs. Add 2 chopped red bell peppers, ½ cup cooked pancetta, and the spinach mixture. Season with ½ tsp salt and mix well.
Pour the egg mixture into the 6 hollowed-out croissants. The croissants will absorb some of the liquid, this is normal. Add a little more filling if needed) Sprinkle with grated Parmigiano Reggiano, to taste.
