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.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 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

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute onion, tomato, and mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. Whisk eggs and cream together in a bowl; add bacon, sauteed vegetables, asparagus, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

  5. 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.

  6. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  7. Broil omelette in the preheated oven until a golden crust starts to form on the top, about 2 minutes.

Cook's Note:

To keep bottom of omelette from burning, add 2 to 3 tablespoons water as omelette cooks. The steam will help to cook.
