This omelet is great at any time of the year, but reminds me most of spring. Serve with toast or a bagel.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 3 spears asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • ⅓ cup green onions, chopped
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
  2. 2 Add the asparagus, mushrooms and onions; cook and stir until the asparagus is fairly soft, about 4 minutes
  3. 3 Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small bowl; pour over the sauteed vegetables and reduce the heat to medium
  4. 4 While the omelet cooks, lift the edge to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath
  5. 5 When most of the egg is cooked, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top
  6. 6 Allow the cheese to melt slightly, then fold in half and serve.

    This is not the recipe for the dish shown in the post! The one I wanted was for an omelet with fresh spinach and tomatoes. The recipe shown is one with mushrooms and asparagus.

    I used two egg whites and one whole egg and 1% milk. I topped this omelette with a few halved cherry tomatoes a tiny amount of extra sharp cheddar cheese and homemade salsa. This was a nice filling breakfast. I've always loved the combination of asparagus and eggs. Next time I think I might add - Read more ...

    I did not have asparagus on hand but I had a lot of fresh button mushrooms (sliced) green onions chopped fresh basil and fresh roasted roma tomtatoes.

    I sauteed the veggies seperately and then added to the eggs once they were set but this was only for presentation and not taste. I also left out the milk (didn't have any) and it turned out just fine! I like mine cheesy and added some cheddar on top as well. Super simple and good - Read more ...

    Fantastic idea for omelet. I always use 3/4 cup of egg whites and 1 large egg whisked together. I left out the milk and Parmesan cheese. I used baby bella mushrooms and it had excellent flavor!!

    Very tasty recipe. A 1/4 cup of milk for 2 eggs is a little much though it made the omlette very soft and a bit difficult to handle.
