What ingredients can I substitute in Caprese Omelet?

How should I store leftover Caprese Omelet?
Caprese Omelet can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for a short breakfast prep window. Reheat gently or serve cold depending on the recipe style. Let it cool before sealing, and keep it refrigerated rather than at room temperature.

How do I reheat Caprese Omelet?

Can I scale Caprese Omelet up or down?
