Love this idea!
I used my whole wheat bread recipe for the dough -halved it.
I also used the ingredients I usually use when I make an omelet (tomatoes, spinach, scallions, and onions).
It was wonderful and easy to eat (finger food).
I'm going to make this during the next family holiday get toget - 3/8/13
