Hearty Ham Omelet

By: Charlotte Baillargeon

"'My husband, Bob, and I operate a bed-and-breakfast, omelets are our 'friends',' confirms Massachusetts field editor Charlotte Baillargeon of Hinsdale. 'Omelets are sort of the 'stew' of eggs - you can add almost any leftover vegetable or meat into the filling. This is one of our favorite combinations.'"
