Wild Rice Mushroom Omelet image

Since wild rice is plentiful here, I love to create recipes starring that crunchy staple. Pork sausage helps spice up the mild rice flavor in this hearty omelet, which is draped with a silky-smooth cheese sauce. You can easily serve it to guests with little last-minute fuss. -Bonnie Bourdeau Akeley, Minnesota

This omelet was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra seasonings next time.
