Ingredients

  • Fresh asparagus - 200 grams
  • Large eggs - 4
  • Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams
  • Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends. Cut the asparagus into 2-3 cm pieces.
  2. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender but still vibrant green.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed asparagus in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, gently lifting the edges of the omelette with a spatula to allow uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
  5. When the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes on low heat until fully cooked.
  6. Gently slide the omelette onto a plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
