I thought this recipe was just okay. The omelet was a bit too oily for my taste and the green tomatoes were a bit tough.

This recipe was a bit disappointing. The omelet was bland and the green tomatoes didn't add much flavor.

The omelet was good, but I think I would have preferred it with ripe tomatoes instead of green tomatoes. The green tomatoes were a bit too tart for my taste.
