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!

ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN OMELET



Asparagus and Parmesan Omelet image

This is a favorite omelet of mine. I make folded French omelets for one or two, and larger frittatas for a crowd.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 15m

Yield 2 rolled omelets, serving 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 thin or medium stalks asparagus, trimmed
4 large or extra-large eggs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon low-fat milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, or a combination
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
  • Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt) and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan and half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
  • Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle half the asparagus down the middle of the eggs, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs, Parmesan herbs, and asparagus, and serve.

ASPARAGUS, GRUYèRE, AND TARRAGON SOUFFLEED OMELET



Asparagus, Gruyère, and Tarragon Souffleed Omelet image

Categories     Mixer     Cheese     Egg     Onion     Brunch     Bake     Vegetarian     Asparagus     Tarragon     Simmer     Gourmet     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed
1 medium red onion, sliced thin
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
a pinch of sugar
2/3 cup coarsely grated Gruyère
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves, or to taste
4 large eggs, separated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet simmer the asparagus in water to cover for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is just tender. Drain the asparagus, rinse it under cold water, and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the asparagus crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces and transfer the pieces to a bowl. In the skillet cook the onion with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the butter over moderate heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, cook the mixture, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the onion is golden, and transfer the mixture to the bowl. Stir in the Gruyère, the tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In the skillet, cleaned, heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over moderate heat until it is melted, tilt the skillet to coat it, and remove it from the heat. In a bowl whisk the egg yolks with the flour and salt and pepper to taste until the mixture is thick and lemon-colored. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they just hold stiff peaks, fold them into the yolk mixture gently but thoroughly, and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.) Bake the omelet in the middle of the oven for 7 minutes, or until it is puffed and almost cooked through, spoon the filling down the middle of it, and with a spatula fold the omelet in half to enclose the filling. Bake the omelet in the middle of the oven for 1 minute more, or until the cheese is melted and the omelet is cooked through.

ASPARAGUS OMELET



Asparagus Omelet image

I love this recipe as a way to get kids comfortable with cooking. An omelet is an easy meal and this one is actually served open-faced, so there's no tricky flipping or folding involved. Add my asparagus salsa for a really fresh crunchy note that contrasts nicely with the tender eggs and asparagus.

Provided by Carla Hall

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 thin spears asparagus
2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Asparagus Salsa (optional):
8 ounces thin asparagus, trimmed and roughly chopped (1 cup)
1/2 cup roughly chopped carrots (1 medium carrot, peeled)
1/2 cup roughly chopped radishes (about 4 small radishes)
1/4 cup roughly chopped red onion (1/2 medium red onion)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 scallions, green and white parts)
1 serrano chile, seeded and finely diced
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the omelet: Trim the ends of the asparagus spears by holding the bottom end of each spear in your hand and bending gently to snap off the end. Drizzle the asparagus with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a small nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the saute pan.
  • To make the omelet, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon water and chipotle powder. Melt the butter in the saute pan over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Allow to cook, undisturbed, until the edges set completely, 2 minutes. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the top, then place the cooked asparagus spears on top. Cover and cook until the eggs set, 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with the Asparagus Salsa if desired.
  • For the asparagus salsa: Place the asparagus, carrots, radishes and red onions in a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are finely diced but not pureed.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add the dill, scallions, serrano chile, lemon zest and juice. Mix together well, season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop if time allows. The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus will give your omelette the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your omelette. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the omelette, don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the eggs will not cook evenly and the omelette will be more likely to break.
  • Be patient: Cooking an omelette takes a little bit of patience. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a rubbery omelette. Cook the omelette slowly over low heat until it is cooked through.

Conclusion:

An asparagus cheese omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's packed with protein and vegetables, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect asparagus cheese omelette every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
