Sheet Pan Western Omelet

If you’re on breakfast duty, these sheet pan omelets are unbeatable for their ease of preparation. Omelets are hearty and filling, but standing over a stove making individual omelets probably isn’t how you want to spend a gorgeous morning at the lake—especially when everyone rolls out of bed at different times. You can serve these alongside bacon and home fries, but for my money, they make the perfect filling for a build-your-own breakfast sandwich bar! (From The Essential Cottage Cookbook by Andrea Buckett, Appetite by Random House, 2025)

They are so pretty added to a holiday cookie tray.

Tomato Tart
