ASPARAGUS OMELETTE
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!

Steps:
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk, sage, thyme, garlic, pecorino and season with cracked black pepper.
- Lay the asparagus lengthways in a pan with just enough salted boiling water to cover the spears. Cook for 2 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Heat a large non stick flat pan with a little olive oil. Pour a ladle of the egg mixture into the pan and roll the pan around until the egg is thinly layered over the base and it is cooked on one side. Reduce the heat and flip to cook the egg on the other side.
- Repeat until all the egg mixture is used up.
- Fill the crepes with asparagus and serve with an extra sprinkle of grated pecorino.
- Note: To prepare asparagus take the tender stalk in both hands; gently hold the spear end of the stalk with one hand while you snap the bottom end off with the other hand. Then trim the broken end with a sharp knife and the asparagus is ready to cook.

ASPARAGUS OMELETTE
What a great way to start your day! This is a fancy (but easy!) omelet to serve for a special day! The asparagus adds a slight crunch. The prosciutto adds so much flavor. Be careful when adding salt since prosciutto is salty. Delish!

ASPARAGUS CHEESE OMELETTE
Steps:
- Cook asparagus in melted butter. After two minutes, throw in the shallots. Brown, sprinkle with lemon juice, toss and put aside. Clean pan with a paper towel, add a little butter, and cook beaten eggs for a minute, lift and set to distribute egg. Once mostly set, sprinkle asparagus, then cheese on top. Cook for 30s, remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 mins Serve. Serve
Tips:
- Use fresh asparagus. Fresh asparagus will have a crisp texture and a bright green color. Avoid asparagus that is limp or has brown spots.
- Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common method is to sauté it in a pan with butter or oil. Be sure to cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality cheese. The cheese you use in your omelet will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss.
- Add other ingredients to your omelet. In addition to asparagus and cheese, you can add a variety of other ingredients to your omelet, such as ham, bacon, vegetables, or herbs. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat. Cooking the omelet over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning and will give it a more evenly cooked texture.
- Fold the omelet over. Once the omelet is cooked through, fold it over in half or into thirds. This will help to keep the ingredients inside the omelet and will make it easier to eat.
Conclusion:
Asparagus omelets are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give asparagus omelets a try.
