Amusing.
That is the way I tend to treat Omelets. ;-)
"Leftovers" Omelets are wonderful.
Around here (south central Texas), mix with eggs and stuff into a flour
tortilla for breakfast tacos, with a bit of added salsa.
Leftovers, if treated properly, can be as big of a treat as the original
meal.
I may also use leftovers in green salads depending on what they are.
