Omelet for Two image

This is a tasty supper omelet that I got from one of my newest cookbooks "Barefoot Contessa At Home". Todd and I love this. In the book she suggests serving it for breakfast, but we do it for supper. Served with a nice green salad, it fits the bill perfectly!

Can I use frozen vegetables in this recipe?

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my omelet turned out flat and rubbery.

This omelet was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more butter or milk.

I'm not a huge fan of omelets, but this one was really good. The vegetables added a lot of flavor and texture.
