Omelet Pie

This was the first time making this recipe and we rather liked it.  There are lots of variations for this so make it to fit your family's tastes.  You could add cooked bacon or sausage instead of ham.  Or you could add broccoli or spinach to give it an extra nutritional boost.  Next time I will throw on some chopped chives from our garden to add flavor and color.
