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.
