Spanish Omelette

Submitted by Geema

"Turkey chorizo was my inspiration for this omelette. I had one sausage left and decided to create something special for my husband's breakfast. You can add other veggies to this basic recipe using whatever scraps you have in your fridge."

What a great start to the day! DH and I really enjoyed this, I especially enjoyed the oozey cheese...I made as directed except skipped on the garlic (only because I forgot to put it in) Reviewed for ZWT3...and will be made over and over again, thanks Geema :)

DH and I really enjoyed this delicious omelet for breakfast this a.m. I used my homemade turkey chorizo and not having a red bell pepper, used green. I think I may have used an undersized skillet and it needed to be covered to promote cooking. The only thing I would add next time would be salt and pepper after it was cooked. Made for ZWTIII.
