Asparagus Mushroom Omelet

 Asparagus Mushroom Omelet, so tasty. Using fresh asparagus and fresh mushrooms is best, but you can use canned asparagus.

20 minutes to a perfect Asparagus and Mushroom Omelet

Asparagus Mushroom Omelet

Don here, telling you about this flavorful Asparagus Mushroom Omelet. Lois and I both love asparagus and mushrooms. When we combine them in a simple omelet, we feel decadent. In the picture, I used canned asparagus, and it was delicious. I do prefer fresh, crisp-tender asparagus, though.

Eat This While Dieting

This recipe originally came from The South Beach Diet, which is a diet that really works for me. Lois recently agreed to join me on it, and we are almost finished with Phase 1. It’s working well for us. She’s down 4 pounds in the last 12 days and I’m down 7.

There’s Nothing Like Good Pans

Get yourself a good nonstick pan or set of pans and one of these Asparagus Steamers for making omelets. When cooking asparagus, we use our asparagus steamer, and love it. The basket lifts out, making it super easy to use.

Ingredients

• 3 stalks fresh asparagus (save one for garnish)
• 1 spritz low fat cooking spray (like Pam)
• 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (I used baby bellas. It's also great with exotic mushrooms like porcini.)
• 2 eggs (I prefer organic free-range brown eggs)
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
• Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste (about 2 turns each of the pepper and salt grinders)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese (shredded)

Instructions

Prepare the Asparagus

1. Cook the asparagus in water until it is just tender crisp. (When I am in a hurry I use canned asparagus but it is wimpy - definitely not tender crisp.)

2. Cut the asparagus stalks into 1-inch long pieces or leave whole. Save one for garnish.

Sauté the Mushrooms

1. Sauté the mushrooms in a little olive oil and add butter for flavor if you want. (This can be done ahead. Refrigerate the sautéed mushrooms in an air tight container until needed.)

Whisk the Eggs

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until the whites and yolks are well blended. Add the nutmeg, salt and pepper and whisk again to combine.

Cook the Omelet

1. Heat a 10" non-stick skillet sprayed with cooking oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles when it is added.

2. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. It should begin to set (firm up) immediately.

3. As the egg mixture cooks, lift the edges to allow the uncooked portion to flow underneath.
4. When it is mostly set, turn the omelet over.

Put it Together/Serve

1. Add the asparagus, mushrooms and cheese to one-half the omelet.

2. Fold the plain side of the omelet over the side with the vegetables, and allow it to cook just long enough to melt the cheese.

3. Slide the omelet onto a serving plate.
4. Garnish with an asparagus stalk and several mushroom slices.

Recipe Notes

Hint: When making omelets for larger parties, I use a 12" or 14" skillet and slice the omelet into several pieces to serve.
