There are a lot of wonderful flavors going on in this omelet, Mikekey! I really love olives, so I thought I'd like this omelet, and boy I was right. It was yummy. The little bit of tarragon sprinkled on top actually surprised me, and it turned out to be one of the best additions to the omelet. Made for ZWT #9 (North Africa).

I made .7 of the recipe using 2 eggs and for me that was a large breakfast with all the goodies added in. I love all of the flavors and they combine so well. North African dishes are a favorite of mine and their use of seasonings is superb. I'm very pleased that I chose this for PAC, Spring 2014.
