Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 5 asparagus stalks, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 slice white onion, finely chopped
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 oz smoked gouda, shredded
- 1 small tomato, seeded and diced
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs until they are frothy and homogeneous. Set the bowl near the cook top.
- Heat half the butter (1/2 tbsp) in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of kosher salt and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add asparagus and saute until the onion is soft and the asparagus is crisp tender, another 3-4 minutes. Transfer the veggies to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Once it bubbles, pour in the eggs and let them cook until they are a little wet on top, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cheese, cooked veggies, and tomato in a pile down the middle of the omelette. Fold it over and wait until the cheese melts. Transfer to a plate and serve.
Notes
If you are looking for your omelette to be a little fluffier, make sure the eggs are well whipped and then stir the omelette in the pan as soon as you pour it in. This will make for smaller curds and more air in the omelette.
