Asparagus Omelette
This Asparagus Omelette is a fresh and vibrant dish that brings together the earthy taste of asparagus with fluffy eggs. It’s perfect for springtime when asparagus is in season, and it pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional – cheddar or feta work great)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like chives or parsley)
Instructions:
- Start by washing and preparing your asparagus. Trim the ends and cut them into 1-inch pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the asparagus pieces and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked asparagus in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set around the edges for about 2 minutes.
- If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the eggs now.
- Carefully lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula to let any uncooked egg flow underneath.
- When the omelette is mostly set but still a little runny on top, fold it over gently and let it cook for another minute until fully set.
- Once cooked, slide it onto a plate. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.
This Asparagus Omelette is light and fluffy, with a beautiful mixture of textures. Not only is it delicious, but it can also be easily customized with your favorite vegetables or protein additions. Enjoy your omelette, and don’t hesitate to share it with family and friends!
