Overall, I thought this omelet was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

This omelet was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less butter next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my omelet turned out flat and rubbery. I think I might have overcooked it.

This omelet is a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables. I added some broccoli and zucchini to mine and it was delicious.
