Artistic Souffle Cheese Omelet

I love a nice fluffy omelet for breakfast or brunch. You can do so many things with them and flavor them in so many ways. I was inspired for this Instructable by the foccacia breads that I have seen that were decorated with cut up vegetables making flower designs on the bread. I figured it would also be pretty on a fluffy omelet! It's fun to play with your food and be artistic! You can follow along with this Instructable to see how you can easily make one! Your entire family can each enjoy making one for themselves! They are so pretty and very tasty!
