Herbs & Omelette

Posted by Carole Anne on October 25, 2009

My favorite dish is omelette, with cooked asparagus in the center and shredded cheese (we use light cheese such as skim mozzarello, provolone, asiago) as it not only looks deliscious when served, but the taste  is unbelievably good; plus, we have proteins, veggies, and herbs.  This tasty dish may be served with a whole wheat, healthy toast.

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs room temperature

1/4 tsp sea salt

pinch of freshly ground pepper

1 tbsp minced chives, parsley (preferrably fresh)

1/2 tsp fresh tarragon

2 tsp butter

NOW FOLLOW ME:

Using your whisk brush, whisk  together eggs, sea salt, pepper and 1 tbsp until mixed well.  Then stir in parsley, chives and tarragon.

Using a non-stick skillet, melt half the butter over medium heat, so it is spread evenly in the pan. 

Pour in 1/2 of omelette mixture, allowing the egg mixture to cook until the bottom is slightly golden; then add the asparagus filler and grated cheese mixture on top of asparagus.  Fold omelette in half and place mixture on plate.  Repeat procedure for second omelette.

Voila!  Oh, my tastebuds are telling me it is time to make an omelette!

Healthy Living receipe  makes two omelettes, loaded with healthy herbs, eggs for protein and cheese for more protein.  Asparagus provides the vegetable portion.  Fast and easy, can be made for any meal.  

Serve with healthy grained brown toast.
