Asparagus Omelette

To prepare a delicious omelette with asparagus and cheese, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 4 fresh eggs, 100 g of grated cheese, 150 g of asparagus, salt and pepper to taste, as well as a little oil or butter for frying. Make sure the asparagus is fresh and nice, as it will add a special touch and a crunchy texture to your omelette.

The first step is to prepare the asparagus. Wash it well under cold running water, then cut off the woody ends. You can boil it in salted water for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes slightly elastic but not too soft, so it retains its texture. After boiling, drain it and let it cool slightly before cutting it into pieces about 3-4 cm long.

In a bowl, beat the eggs well, adding a pinch of salt and pepper to give them a savory taste. Use a fork or a whisk to achieve a homogeneous and airy mixture. This will make the omelette fluffy and full of flavor.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil or butter, making sure it evenly covers the bottom of the pan. When the oil is hot, pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan, tilting the pan slightly to distribute the eggs evenly.

After a few minutes, when the edges of the omelette start to set, you can cover the pan with a lid. This step will help cook the omelette evenly, and the steam created will help set the eggs and melt the cheese. After about 2-3 minutes, remove the lid and add the grated cheese on top of the omelette, followed by the boiled asparagus pieces.

Turn off the heat and let the omelette sit for another 1-2 minutes, as the residual heat will melt the cheese, creating a delicious and creamy crust. When ready, use a spatula to fold the omelette in half, so that the ingredients are well wrapped.

Serve the omelette warm, alongside a fresh salad or a slice of toasted bread, to complete the meal. This simple yet refined recipe will give you an extra boost of energy and flavor, being perfect for both a hearty breakfast and a quick, nutritious lunch. Enjoy your meal!
