I had this for breakfast this morning and it was very nice, I'm sorry my picture isn't quite as nice as yours as I am absolutely rubbish at flipping or turning eggs I sort of slid half out the pan on a plate and flipped it then put it back for a minute, a bit messy but the taste made up for it. It was a very nice balance of flavours not to much hot pepper but the thyme and the chives went well with my cheese very yummy nice and soft in the middle. I didn't have swiss cheese so I used cheddar with black pepper and it was so nice that and my lovely eggs from my chooks made a very nice breakfast. Thank you for posting made for Honor thy Mother the diabetic forum, May 2011

Oh, wow. I made the recipe exactly as written and in the end I had one mighty tasty omelet. In particular, the button mushrooms I used meshed quite well with the thyme and red pepper flakes to create such a great savory-garden complement to the omelet base. I'll make this again and I won't change a thing. Thanks for another "keeper", ~Rita~.
