Simple Italian Omelet Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Egg Recipes. (Simple Italian Omelet Recipe). I'm calling this an 'Italian' omelet for a couple reasons. First, I used olive oil instead of butter and, second, I cooked the eggs quickly in a hot pan, letting them get a little golden-brown. The traditional French omelets are thicker and cooked much more gently.
