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!

    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
