Fantastic omelet!! We loved the sun-dried tomatoes and ricotta. This made two very satisfying omelets which meant we were both satisfied with just one slice of bread (Yippy!!) Will be enjoying again, thanks for the post.

Made for a quickie breakfast for us, which had nice flavors. Made recipe as written, and served with some leftover steak pieces.

Delicious, quick and easy. A tasty light Omelette which would work well for any meal. I served with a small piece of Rump steak as a mid-week meal. Made for Aussie / Kiwi Swap July 2012.
