Completely delicious....we just loved this. Packed full of flavour, and all of the necessary components to bring you back to life after a glass too many.
A great dish-cheers Peter.

I scaled this back for 1 and the flavours were great though I was a little more generous with the tabasco, even on the lowest setting mine was well and truely cooked in 8 minutes and a little burnt on the bottom which meant when I put it on the plate it broke up so next time I'll put the heat mat under the frypan and would also like to try it with a spicy charizo sausage. Thanks Peter, made for Aussie/Kiwi Swap #54 July 2011.

Wow Peter, what a great dish. We enjoyed this spicy omelet very much. The flavor that the pepperoni brings to the dish is outstanding, it blended beautifully with the old cheddar cheese, potatoes, sweet onions and egg. Thanks so much for sharing another great breakfast alternative.

Updated: I have made this many times now, substituting salami for the pepperoni and changing the types of cheese. One thing has never changed, it is always as good as the first time. Kudos on an excellent recipe Peter.
