TARRAGON ASPARAGUS
I grow purple asparagus, so I'm always looking for new ways to prepare it. Recently, my husband and I discovered how wonderful any color of asparagus tastes when it's grilled. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin

ASPARAGUS, GRUYERE AND TARRAGON SOUFFLE OMELET
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a 10-inch non-stick skillet simmer the asparagus in salted water to cover for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is just tender. Drain the asparagus, shock in ice water, and pat dry with paper towels.
- 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, or until the onion is golden, and transfer the mixture to the bowl. In the same skillet, heat asparagus until warmed through. Add the asparagus to the onions.
- Wipe out the same skillet and heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over moderate heat until it is melted, tilting the skillet to coat it with the butter, 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. Add the onions and asparagus to the egg yolks.
- 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 Gruyere and tarragon, and a dash of salt and pepper down the middle of the omelet, 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.

SOUFFLéED OMELET WITH GOAT CHEESE, ASPARAGUS, AND HAM
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a wide medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the asparagus; cook until bright green and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Plunge asparagus into the ice bath to stop the cooking; cool completely. Drain; halve lengthwise. Set aside.
- Melt butter in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove skillet from heat; set aside. Whisk together egg yolks, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until pale and thick; set aside.
- Put egg whites and a pinch of salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into yolk mixture. Using a large rubber spatula, spread mixture evenly into reserved skillet. Bake until omelet is almost set but still soft, about 6 minutes.
- Sprinkle goat cheese and mint over half the omelet. Top with asparagus and a layer of ham. Fold plain half over filled half. Bake until cheese has melted and omelet is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Cut into 4 wedges, and serve.
ASPARAGUS OMELET
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.

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.
ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE AND TARRAGON TART
Because you don't have to make your own crust, this gorgeous asparagus-striped tart is so easy it almost feels like cheating. But it's not. It's just simple yet stunning, effortlessly chic and company-ready. As there are so few ingredients in this recipe that each one makes an impact, be sure to buy a good all-butter brand of puff pastry. If you can manage to serve this tart warm, within an hour of baking, it will be at its absolute best, with crisp pastry that shatters into buttery bits when you bite down and still-runny cheese. But it's also excellent a few hours later, should you want to get all your baking done before your guests arrive. If tarragon isn't your favorite herb, you can use chives, basil or mint instead. And if you can manage to trim all the asparagus to the same length, this tart will be especially neat and orderly looking.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium bowl, use a fork or a wooden spoon to mash together the goat cheese, egg, garlic, tarragon, lemon zest, salt and nutmeg until smooth. Switch to a whisk and beat in the crème fraîche until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry into a 13-by-11-inch rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry.
- Spread the crème fraîche mixture evenly inside the scored border. Line up the asparagus spears on top, and brush them with olive oil. Sprinkle some salt and the grated Parmesan over the asparagus.
- Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let it cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours before serving. Then sprinkle black pepper, red-pepper flakes (if using), the shaved Parmesan and tarragon leaves. Drizzle a little oil on top.
ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN OMELET

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

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.
Tips:
- To ensure the soufflé omelet rises properly, make sure the egg whites are beaten until stiff peaks form. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy omelet.
- When folding the egg whites into the yolk mixture, be gentle and use a spatula. Over-folding can deflate the egg whites and prevent the omelet from rising properly.
- Do not overcook the omelet. It should be cooked until it is just set and still slightly runny in the center. Overcooking will make the omelet tough and dry.
- Serve the soufflé omelet immediately with your favorite toppings. Suggested toppings include asparagus, Gruyère cheese, tarragon, and a dollop of crème fraîche.
Conclusion:
The asparagus, Gruyère, and tarragon soufflé omelet is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special brunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its light and fluffy texture, rich flavor, and beautiful presentation, this omelet is sure to impress your guests.
