For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of garlic and herb cream cheese to the omelette before broiling. Feel free to substitute other cheeses such as Gruyere, provolone, or cheddar for the mozzarella. Serve immediately with a side of toasted baguette slices or fresh croissants for a complete and satisfying meal.
