    I really enjoyed this recipe and thought the use of contest ingredients was creative. I especially loved the capers. Our omelettes were light and fluffy and the colors of the finished product were so pretty. I served this for an evening meal as we often enjoy breakfast for dinner. Thank you for your entry in RSC #10!

    I loved these eggs! I picked the tomatoes out of the garden and I beat the eggs cause I like doing that part. I bet Jim liked them too! Thanks Sharon!
