Italian Garden Omelet

I created this veggie-filled omelet to treat my wife to a meal using some of the fresh herbs from our garden. She loved it. The herbs give the dish a refreshing zing. It’s also good with asparagus when it’s in season. —Billy Hensley, Mount Carmel, TN

  • 2 tablespoons chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
