Although I wasn't really sure how well the egg & blueberry combo would turn out here, we did, in fact, enjoy this omelet! I particularly liked the cinnamon & lemon flavors, what with a generously rounded measure of zest in the omelet itself & a bit more than a dash of cinnamon in the sauce! Thanks for a great breakfast!
