I absolutely loved this omelet! I made it as written and found it easy to make with a terrific taste. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Football Pool 2012.

I love gruyere, and it is awesome in omelets. The pear was mild and a little sweet. An interesting combination. I made my omelet a little differently then the instructions, cooking it on low heat instead, so the eggs wouldn't get too brown before cooking all the way through. Served with toast and tomatoes.

This is so good! Mine didn't turn out too pretty since I am not the greatest omelet maker, but the flavor is outstanding! My pear was not super ripe so I sliced it as thin as I could so it wouldn't be too crunchy. Will be making this again! Made for Football Pool Win 2013-14.

I really enjoyed this delicious omelet Mikekey. Wow, what could be better, soft tender eggs, beautifully flavored fresh pears and smoky gruyere cheese. It was perfection, quick and easy to make with super results. I will be making this often. Thank you so much for sharing. Made for Pac Fall 2011.
