We love eating a great breakfast on the weekend at Casa Linda. I often go all out and make something really great for my family. This weekend I was inspired by this delicious omelette I had at a local restaurant called The Range Café. I recently shared an omelette there with a friend for breakfast. They made a three egg omelette and it was stuffed with all sort of delicious goodies. It was so delicious in fact that it inspired me to create my own version of this delicious Italian omelette (French spelling, not American since it was influenced by the French and Italian cuisine.) I would of never of thought to put pesto on top of my omelette – but not only did it make an old recipe for my normal everyday omelette come to life but it was extremely tasty. I used arugula in this recipe, but spinach or your favorite green would also go well, the arugula added a nice peppery flavor to the omelette and I used some fresh tomatoes from my garden. The fresh mozzarella cheese is what made this exceptional and best of all my children and husband loved it! I hope you also enjoy this recipe for my Italian Omelette with Pesto, it is a must try, and it was super easy to prepare. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
