What a great omlette. It has beautiful colors, a delicious flavor combination and the eggs are delightfully moist while the potatoes remain browned and crisp. I added some zucchini and undoubtably used more cheese than called for. Normally I cut way back on the oil, but I didn't in this case. It was necessary to keep the potatoes from sticking and drying out. I did cover the pan as soon as I poured the eggs on and recommend you do as well, otherwise it takes too long and the potatoes get too dark. In fact, I used a spatula to cut the omlette and let the still-liquid egg seep down to the bottom after a few minutes.

What a healthy breakfast! My kids liked all the colors. I had to use all the oil to keep my potatoes from sticking, and also covered when I realized it was going to be very crispy on the bottom before the top cooked. I ended up flipping it, but I think if it's covered right away that wouldn't be necessary. This omelet has lots of possibilities. Thanks!

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
