I Loved this! What a great way to start the day. I used chili beans with Recipe#388075 in place of the chili powder. I used a reduced fat cheddar cheese out of preference. This made a mild spicy and delicious breakfast that would also be wonderful for brunch. lunch of dinner. Truly a "go to" recipe.

This was a good omelette, the beans were a nice addition. I used less salt, since that is what we are used to. I thought the celery seed was out of place and it needed a little more seasoning (more chili powder?). We added green tabasco at the table and that went well with it.

Great omelet variation! Flavorful and delicious, and the eggs and beans were a filling combo. Thanks for sharing! Best of 2011 Tag.

What a tasty way to enjoy my morning eggs! I love the fact that you wrote this recipe for 1, as I'm normally cooking just for myself. Although I omitted the tomatoes, the filling was wonderful. Just the perfect amount to fill the omelete without overflowing. I used black beans, since I had them on hand, and topped with cheddar. Loved this, and will make it again!
