  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Due to receiving an abundant supply of green tomatoes (must have been 10 pounds), I had to get creative.  I came up with this idea because I love vegetable flavored omelets, but have never mastered the art of making omelets so mine always end up as scrambled eggs.  What I discovered is that green tomatoes make a good substitute for green bell peppers (similar taste and texture).  I created this recipe and both my husband and I decided it will be a keeper.</p>]]>

		<li>Heat frying pan to medium heat.  When pan is heated, add egg mixture.</li>
