Having an exceptionally early start to my day I decided to have my special weekend breakfast this morning. I too cut mine back to serve one, used bacon, since I did mine stove top I did a rough grate on the potato. Have to say I was very impressed with your French Country Omelet. So much so I may have another on Sunday! Looking forward to using the oven method when having a family weekend. Added to my Breakfast Cookbook.

A very satisfying omelet. Perfect for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner. I used ham, cut the reipe back to one serving (2 eggs). Made it all stove top. Used a herb Gouda cheese. It got a bit browner than I would normally cook it - still delicious.
