After the first bite, two of our guests gave a "thumbs up" and said "this is a 10!" I made this a second time and doubled the recipe. Along with a green salad, some crusty bread and white wine it made the perfect light supper for a summer evening. [Robert McCune] This recipe is so easy!

Jacobson] I generally like when photos are provided alongside recipes. That said, my delicious version of these Herb Omelettes Stuffed with Ricotta looked nothing like the photos, with my filling far less prominent than the version shown. Proportionately, I had lots more omelette in relation to the filling than those depicted in the photo. This seemed right taste-wise, and to my palate seems actually better than the very filling-laden ones in the photo might have been. Made for brunch, our guests devoured the bite-sized omelets, with the fairly plain jane omelette wrapper giving way to the simultaneously fresh and rich filling--a winning combination. We felt this would work equally well as a cocktail hors d'oeuvre or pre-dinner appetizer, as it did in our version: we served them as a brunch component. The omelette filling was extra tasty because of the use of homemade ricotta in lieu of store-bought, which I think added to both the freshness and the richness. They were certainly as described, both tasty and elegant, and they were the first brunch item to disappear completely! Even with the extra effort involved in making the homemade ricotta (which is easy!), the recipe takes little hands-on time and is really not at all complicated, and especially in consideration of how impressive it looked when plated on a colorful tray.

It is the presentation that makes this recipe an A+ in my book. [Robyn Rice Foster] I truly liked this recipe and it was something different to serve for breakfast or for a girl’s brunch.

Teddy Diggs] I've had a too-hectic and too-hot spring/summer, leaving me with no time and no desire for cooking. So I was looking for something simple yet still out-of-the-ordinary. Something that did NOT require turning on the over. This was perfect! Very, very easy yet elegant in result. And delicious! Though intended as an appetizer, I'd prefer slices of this with fruit and champagne for a brunch or late-night snack. This is a keeper. [D.

Simple to make and not very cost prohibitive. [Michaele Musel] A very fresh appetizer that leaves room for personalization and variation. Simple to make and not very cost prohibitive.

Light chives and garlic taste is completed with a colorful combination of basil and parsley and makes a great choice for those who love herbs' taste. Creamy ricotta and strong parmesan makes a great filling. Overall this is a great recipe! [Daria Chiu] This is a really great recipe.

I love the texture of the ricotta filling with the egg. Perhaps next time I would add a bit more flavour to the filling - not to over-power it but enhance it, such as a tiny bit of freshly-grated nutmeg. I will definitely make this again!

I have a mini food processor instead of a regular-sized one, and I was able to make this recipe with little problems. I would also suggest leaving the fresh herbs and garlic whole, and just let your food processor chop them up for you. You will save yourself the extra step!

Cyr] Some of the best flavors of the Mediterranean are celebrated in this delicate preparation. I just love how the sharp-noted parmesan, subtle hints of garlic, and the trio of herbs unite to create a savory ricotta-stuffed omelette. It is an easy yet elegant item to prepare, which can be eaten solely as a hors d'oeuvre or served as a brunch item along with a light green salad. Pair it with a full-bodied Chardonnay to allow the fruit tones to mingle with the herbs, and it's a perfect union to enjoy for treasured times. [Karla M.
