    I agree with NimrodCook, I think an extra egg is called for with this amount of cheese but its just a personal preferance. This was very good, we had it for dinner last night and the combination of the cheeses and the chive was wonderful. Thanks for a good recipe.

    Excellent omelet JQ. The flavor of the cheese combination was great, however, I did use 3 eggs and am glad I did, because of all the cheese. I think with 2 eggs it might be a little much. Will be making this a lot. Thanks

    A wonderful and basic omelet that lends itself nicely to additions. I will be honest, I haven't a clue how much cheese I used. I grated them and mixed them all together and then piled it on. I did sprinkle a little extra over the top which melted nicely during the standing period.
