The first bite of creamy filling lets you know this isn’t any old omelet. Make it once, and we suspect you’ll be fixing it often. —Anne Troise, Manalapan, New Jersey

I tried this for the first time yesterday and ended up making it again this morning!! I also used reduced fat cream cheese and reduced the oil in the pan to 1 teaspoon. Topped off with fresh salsa, this makes for a real breakfast treat that is really pretty good for you! Thanks for a great recipe!

So good! I was reading my S@D right before making breakfast, so I thought I would give this a try. I had to use what I had on hand, so I had to use egg beaters, reduced fat cream cheese and dried chives, and it was delicious! This would also make a nice brunch recipe or quick dinner.

Made it twice already and have shared with friends. This one is super easy and quite yummy. I used reduced fat cream cheese (Neufchatel) and may use either dried chives or fresh. If using dried, reduce amount to 1 Tbsp.
