We often have breakfast food for dinner, and this made a great dinner omelet. Love all the vegetables in this. But what really brings out the flavor in this dish is the sauce; the combination of flavors is heavenly.

This was a pretty good omelete real cheesy. We thought the tomato sauce topping really made this omelet taste great. Thanks NurseDi. Bullwinkle
