I was so curious to try this. It was wonderful! The creaminess of the cheese with the sweet apple was really nice, and a fun twist on the stereotypical idea of a savory omelet. I used neufchatel cheese and Amaretto, and I did add black pepper to the omelet mixture. There was quite a bit of liquid left in the apple pan (butter/sugar), so I might try reducing it a bit next time (or perhaps I just had a very juicy apple!) Thanks for sharing! Veggie Swap
