4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp Half & Half
1 Tbsp cilantro, minced
1 Jalapeño pepper, minced
1/4 cup red pepper, diced

When cooked remove from broiler, slide the omelet on to a preheated plate, spoon the dip down the middle of the omelet, fold in half and serve. Serve remaining salsa on the side.
