Asparagus Cream Cheese Omelet
WHEN asparagus is in season, it seems it appears at every one of my meals. Not only does it go well with eggs, but it presents a very appetizing omelet.
2 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 20 min.
Ingredients
4 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
2 teaspoons butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Directions
In a large skillet, bring 1/2 in. of water and asparagus to a boil;
cover and boil for 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place asparagus
in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. In a
small bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, onion, salt and pepper
flakes. Pour into skillet (mixture should set immediately at edges).
As eggs set, push cooked edges toward the center, letting uncooked
portion flow underneath.
When the eggs are set, place cream cheese and asparagus over one
side; fold omelet over filling. Cover and let stand for 1-1/2
minutes or until cheese is melted. Slide onto a plate; cut in half.
Yield: 2 servings.
