Bring your love for omelettes to the next level. Try this family asparagus omelette recipe passed down from my grandma. There are many omelette recipes out there, but I can reassure you that this recipe is one of the best omelette recipes you may ever try.
With the inclusion of most of the classic omelette ingredients; this omelette is made using cheese, ham, eggs, salt and pepper seasoning and includes many other goodies to make it the bomb! From my knowledge this recipe was created after Christmas. With many left over ham and roasted vegetables from christmas, Grandma made the most delicious roasted vegetables omelette for everyone for dinner. The recipe then changed in to this asparagus omelette.
It has a creamy and crunchy flavour from the combination of cheese, eggs and asparagus. Because so many fresh ingredients go in to it, the omelette has a moist and soft texture to it. One small taste and I guarantee you will beg for more.
ASPARAGUS OMELETTE
Prep-Time: 10 mins Serve: 4
Cooking Time: 13 mins
Ingredients
75g ham, chopped
4 stalk spring onion, chopped
1 medium size onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bunches asparagus, 1/2 cm cut
5 eggs
1/2 cup tasty cheese
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
Method
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, pour the chopped asparagus in to the boiling water and boil for 1 minute. Tip out into a strainer and rinse under cold water, leave to drain.
Combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Whisk/stir with a spoon until the eggs are well beaten and all ingredients are well mixed.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, once the oil is nice and hot pour in the omelette mixture. Leave to set for 30 second and then stir, repeat this 2 more times or until the eggs start to firm at the base. Divide the omelette into 4 and then cover with the lid and leave it to cook for 5-7 minutes or until the bottom base starts turning brown.
Flip the omelette one piece at a time and then return the lid and cook for further 3-5 minutes until most of the moisture is gone. Don’t leave it to cook for too long or it will be dry and may burn.
