I made this for Little Miss (DD) and Hubby (I don't eat eggs) for breakfast and they both enjoyed it. I used fresh home grown tomatoes so I didn't peel the skin off. I had trouble when I turned the omelette as it broke in a few pieces, I think I left the tomatoes cook for to long which made more moisture. However the family gobbled it all up and there was nothing left in their plate. Thank you Um Safia

This was really good and super easy to make. I did add two extra cloves of garlic and cut the eggs down to five. I had to cover the frying pan with a lid to get the top to set enough to flip. We will definitely be having this again. Thanks for posting!
