Really good and really easy. I had a cooked potato left from dinner last night, so I peeled and cubed it, and added to the egg mixture. I used a 16-oz container of Egg Beaters instead of the eggs to save on fat and cholesterol. I just poured the egg substitute mixture into my new ceramic-lined skillet, popped it into the oven, and it cooked perfectly at 25 minutes. After baking, it slid right on to a plate with no sticking whatsoever (and I saved one dirty dish). Next time, this omelet will travel from Denver to Mexico because I plan to add some jalapeño and serve with salsa, sour cream, and some chopped cilantro. Wouldn't hesitate to serve this to company for brunch (or lunch as I did today).

Very easy Sunday breakfast for my husband and me. I reduced the serving size to 3 and used a pie plate. I baked it for 20 min. I also tossed in a couple of baby bella mushrooms and sprinkled some reduced fat cheddar cheese on top. Delicious!

I used chopped RED bell pepper and turkey ham. We all liked this a lot. I served it with homemade salsa/sour cream on the side and with toasted english muffins. WE ATE IT ALL.

Delicious and oh so easy to make. Great texture, I used whole milk and beat the eggs by hand and it baked up nice and fluffy. Eager to try it with other ingredients - thanks for sharing this!

Made it today just cause i was in the mood fir something new. And we really like it. I added fresh sliced up jalapenos because i didn't have green peppers and it had a nice kick to it.

I loved this! It was so easy! Instead of ham I use chorizo, which made it taste amazing!
