Omelette di Asparagi

Omelette di Asparagi is a delightful Italian breakfast dish that combines fresh asparagus with fluffy eggs for a protein-rich start to your day. This savory omelette is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a healthy breakfast.

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.
