Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Brush a large rimmed baking sheet with about 1.5 teaspoons of olive oil.

Cut a piece of parchment to fit the bottom of the baking sheet, allowing it to overhang the edges, and oil the parchment with a little more olive oil.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of milk and 3/4 cup of flour, whisking until smooth.

Crack 8 eggs into the bowl, add 1 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground pepper, and whisk until fully combined.

Chop about 1/4 cup of fresh chives and add to the egg mixture, whisking to combine.

Chop 4 slices of ham into small pieces and set aside.

Pour the egg mixture into the center of the prepared baking sheet, moving the pan to spread the eggs to all corners.

Sprinkle the chopped ham evenly over the egg mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set.

Remove from the oven and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Return to the oven for about 2 minutes to melt the cheese.

Set the baking sheet away from you for easier rolling.

Run a knife along the long side of the pan to loosen the omelette.

Using the parchment paper, start rolling the omelette from one end, lifting it with the knife as you go.

Continue rolling until fully rolled up, using the parchment to help.

Rotate the pan and use a long spatula to transfer the rolled omelette to a platter.

Slice the rolled omelette into 1 to 1.5-inch thick slices for serving.
