Asparagus Omelet
About this Recipe: Navid : The asparagus omelet is a very easy and healthy dish. Asparagus is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals and is extremely good for you. Try to use good quality organic eggs and fresh lemon juice for this dish. Also avoid using processed cheddar or parmesan cheese.
Main Ingredients:
Organic Eggs: 3 Asparagus: 6 spears Parmesan cheese: 1 tbsp, grated (or 1 tbsp cheddar cheese) Olive oil: 1/2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice: 1 tbsp Salt Pepper

I started using asparagus in omelets a couple years ago. It's a great vegetable to go with eggs. I definitely recommend this omelet.
we added mushrooms...quick & very yummy :)
Asparagus in the omelet is a genius idea. Delicious and not overpowering. I recommend it.
