I would agree with Chef #184530 that this needs more substance, especially for an omlette but it is quite tasty as is. I doubled the recipe and skipped the mint as my boyfriend cannot stand the taste of it in food. I would like to try it next time with some tomatoes. Part of the problem is likely us - we love your posted scrambled eggs recipe (recipe #82546) so much that nothing else really compares. I will make this again and just add some tomatoes and spinach next time. Thanks for posting!
