4. Remove from heat and drain any excess liquid.
5. Stir in tomatoes.

7. Generously coat a medium sized skillet with non-stick cooking spray; heat over low to medium-low heat.
8. Pour in egg mixture.
9. When egg is mostly set, sprinkle vegetables over surface; then sprinkle cheese on top of vegetables.
10. As cheese begins to melt, fold omelet approximately 1/3 over towards center, and the remaining third on top of that.
11. Slide omelet onto serving plate.
12. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika if you desire.
13. Serve.

This was a dieter's dream omelet! A delicious blend of seasonings and hearty portion of veggies made this so tasty. I didn't have fresh thyme or chives, so I used dry and added a few snips of fresh tarragon. I also used ordinary mushrooms, as I did not have portabellas.
