Pizza Omlette

This picture does not do justice to the flavor of this omlette.  I was going to make my husband a ham and cheese omlette for breakfast this morning.  Bad news, the ham was no good.  What other meat is in the frig...pepperoni.  Okay, so we're going to go Italian with this thing...I'm thinking pizza with egg.  I chopped the pepperoni into small pieces.  I chopped up some garlic and a little onion as well. 
I started by whisking together three eggs.  I like to add milk to make them fluffy, but I was out, so I used a little water.  I whisk for 2 minutes, because I want them really fluffy.  Next, I spray the small sauce pan with butter flavored cooking spray.  Then, I add the eggs, using a spatula to move the eggs around a little.  When the eggs start to set, I add the spices.  Because I am thinking pizza, I added basil, italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, season salt, and black pepper.  I next add the onion and garlic.  I cover the pan to allow the egg to cook better.  I next add the pepperoni and cheese.  I then removed the pan from heat, but kept it covered for a minute while I warmed the plate.  Next is the trickiest part.  I used the spatula to release the edges and bottom of egg from the pan.  The moment of truth is the move from the pan to the plate.  Success!  I am so relieved that it does not fall apart.  I use the pan to assist in flipping the second half of the egg to make the omlette. 
I could not believe the fresh flavor I accomplished with this tasty dish.  Every time I make an omlette it turns out differently and this was an absolutely awesome breakfast!
