The swirl of pesto on top of this omelet lifted it from ordinary to very yummy. A really nice combination with the savory mushrooms and potato. I liked that this dish served two - made a perfect brunch with some fruit and muffins.

We packed this omelet so full that it's too thick to fold in half. Serve it open faced with fresh fruit and muffins.
