Omelet With Lavender and Chèvre image

Something I put together recently but the idea for using lavender in an omelet has been swimming through my brain for a year or two. To residents of the Pacific Northwest: I tried two different varieties of chèvre for this recipe: River's Edge 'Roasted Hazelnut and Frangelico' and 'Up in Smoke' ("smoked fresh chèvre, wrapped in smoked maple leaves which are spritzed with bourbon for extra smoky flavor". I don't make this stuff up.) Note-this is the recipe I use to prepare the omelet: Recipe #171221. I debated on adding shallots to the omelet...
