Spinach Omelette Over Asparagus Recipes

10-MINUTE SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• Whisk eggs in a small bowl. Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat, tilting to coat the pan. Pour in the eggs and immediately stir with a rubber spatula or fork for 5 to 10 seconds. Then push the cooked portions at the edge toward the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to fill in around the edges. Continue to cook until almost set and the bottom is light golden, about 1 minute total.
• Remove from heat and top half the omelet with spinach and Cheddar. Fold the other half over the filling. Slide the omelet onto a plate and sprinkle dill on top.

GREEK OMELET WITH ASPARAGUS AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus and red bell pepper until the vegetables start to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in cherry tomatoes, spinach, garlic, oregano, basil, and salt and continue cooking until tomatoes are soft and spinach has cooked down, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer vegetables to a plate.
• Melt butter in clean skillet over medium heat. Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl and pour into hot butter, swirling skillet to cover entire bottom with egg mixture. Pull up an edge of the omelet with a spatula and tilt pan to allow unset egg to run underneath and cook; continue around pan, lifting omelet edge and tilting pan, until all the egg mixture is set. Sprinkle omelet with salt.
• Spoon cooked asparagus mixture onto one side of the omelet and sprinkle with feta and Cheddar cheeses. Gently fold half the omelet over the vegetables and cheese and press edges lightly to seal in the filling. Cook until filling is hot and Cheddar cheese has melted, 1 to 2 more minutes. Cut in slices to serve.

BABY SPINACH OMELET

Steps:

• In a bowl, beat the eggs, and stir in the baby spinach and Parmesan cheese. Season with onion powder, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• In a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, cook the egg mixture about 3 minutes, until partially set. Flip with a spatula, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes, or to desired doneness.

ASPARAGUS OMELET

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat; add onion and green pepper. Cook and stir until onion is slightly brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in ham and garlic salt.
• Beat eggs, asparagus, and milk together with a whisk or a fork in a bowl; pour over ham mixture. Add whole Provolone cheese slices or break them into pieces. Cook until eggs begin to set, about 3 minutes. Gently fold the omelet in half; cook until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

SPINACH OMELETTE OVER ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Remove the ends of the asparagus. Break the asparagus into short pieces and put them in a small frying pan with a little bit of olive oil. Heat the pan and cover, removing the lid to stir occasionally. Remove from heat when asparagus is limp and slightly browned. Place the asparagus on a plate or bowl, off to the side. Once the pan has cooled a little, break apart and warm the frozen spinach in the pan. Once the spinach has thawed, break the eggs into the spinach and mix thouroughly. Add salt and mix again. Slowly add heat while mixing, so the eggs don't cook right away and so that you don't get big lumps of egg or spinach. Remove from heat and add to the asparagus. Enjoy!

ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN OMELET

Steps:

• Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
• Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork or a whisk until frothy. Add salt and pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon salt) and 2 teaspoons milk. Whisk 2 teaspoons of the Parmesan and half the herbs into the eggs and mix well.
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil. When the oil feels hot when you hold your hand above it, pour in the eggs, scraping every last bit into the pan. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. As soon as the eggs are set on the bottom, sprinkle half the asparagus down the middle of the eggs, then jerk the pan quickly away from you then back towards you so that the omelet folds over on itself. If you don't like your omelet runny in the middle (I do), jerk the pan again so that the omelet folds over once more. Cook for a minute or two longer. Tilt the pan and roll out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining eggs, Parmesan herbs, and asparagus, and serve.

SPANISH SPINACH OMELETTE

Steps:

• Tip the spinach into a large colander and bring a kettleful of water to the boil. Slowly pour the water over the spinach until wilted, then cool under cold water. Squeeze all the liquid out of the spinach and set aside.
• Heat grill to high. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and gently cook the onion and potato for about 10 mins until the potato is soft. While the onion is cooking, beat the eggs together in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Stir the spinach into the potatoes, then pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly set, then flash the omelette under the grill to set the top. Ease the omelette on to a plate, then flip over back into the pan. Finish cooking the omelette on the underside and turn out onto a board. Serve cut into wedges.

ASPARAGUS OMELET

Steps:

• For the omelet: Trim the ends of the asparagus spears by holding the bottom end of each spear in your hand and bending gently to snap off the end. Drizzle the asparagus with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat a small nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the saute pan.
• To make the omelet, whisk together the eggs, 1 tablespoon water and chipotle powder. Melt the butter in the saute pan over medium heat, then pour in the egg mixture. Allow to cook, undisturbed, until the edges set completely, 2 minutes. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the top, then place the cooked asparagus spears on top. Cover and cook until the eggs set, 2 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Garnish with the Asparagus Salsa if desired.
• For the asparagus salsa: Place the asparagus, carrots, radishes and red onions in a food processor and pulse a few times until the vegetables are finely diced but not pureed.
• Transfer to a large bowl and add the dill, scallions, serrano chile, lemon zest and juice. Mix together well, season to taste with salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to develop if time allows. The salsa can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Makes 2 cups.
