Asparagus Omelette image

Who knew asparagus and eggs tasted so good together? Fantastic for lazy Sunday mornings (that turn into afternoons) or a quick dinner. The Master Omelettier's secret to a gorgeous and fluffy omelette is to cook covered on medium-low until the final step - adding cheese and broiling in the oven for 2 minutes, or until brown. For the fearless cook and the adventurous eater, consider adding some smoked salmon flavored cream cheese. Enjoy with toast or fresh croissants. Bon appetite!

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 strips bacon
10 stalks asparagus, trimmed
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
⅓ red onion, diced
½ tomato, diced
3 button mushrooms, sliced
5 eggs
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon pieces.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender yet firm to the bite, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion, tomato, and mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl; add bacon, sauteed vegetables, asparagus, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture into an oven-proof nonstick skillet and cover skillet. Cook over medium-low until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over omelette.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil omelette in the preheated oven until a golden crust starts to form on the top, about 2 minutes.
