Asparagus Omelette Recipe

Asparagus Omelette Recipe

  • 6 strips bacon
  • 10 stalks asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
  • 1/3 red onion, diced
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  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.
