To make it an even taster omelette add 1 tablespoon chopped arugula. Other choices can be parsley, cilantro or chives.

The stuffing for your omelette will be leftovers of your choice.
Your leftovers should not be more than 2 days old if they contain meat and dairy product. Or 3 days if it is vegetables.
Measure out about 1 cup per omelette and warm the contents and set aside.
Place a medium sized skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt.
When butter starts to sizzle add in beaten egg mixture. Using a spatula break any forming bubbles. Move skillet back and forth over heat a few times.
When the omelette starts to cook and you notice very little liquid, add leftovers to one side of the cooked eggs. Add some of the cheese (optional). With your spatula fold the opposite side of the omelette over the leftovers.
If you want to top with cheese, slide your omelette to a iron skillet and top with cheese. Place iron skillet under broil for 2-3 minutes.
Do not walk away. Keep on eye on the omelette so it doesn’t burn while under the broiler.
Remove from broiler. Plate and serve garnished with chopped arugula.
Save any leftovers for another meal.
