Fines Herbes Asaragus Omelettes

When our minds turn to spring, we think of asparagus!Combine that thought with trying to keep up with our wonderful chicken's eggs production and a dash of a really tasty seasoning, and we had all the ingredients necessary to create this next recipe.

Fines Herbes Asparagus Omelettes
Ingredients:
4-5 asparagus stalks per person
1 or 2 eggs (yes, an one egg omelet is possible!)
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar
1 scant tsp Fines Herbes Seasoning
salt and pepper to taste

Steam the asparagus until bright green and softened. Cut into 1/2 inch lengths.


Thoroughly whip the eggs in a bowl.


Stir in the Fines Herbes Seasoning and asparagus, reserving a little asparagus for garnish.


Pour the eggs into a preheated skillet with sloping sides (makes for easier flipping.)Cook for a few minutes then flip - good luck! Add cheese immediately after flipping, reserving a little for garnish.


Fold one side over the other and slide onto a plate. Garnish with cheese and asparagus.


We suggest serving with homefried potatoes seasoned with All-Purpose Seasoning and a cup of good coffee...very yum!

  1. I tried these - they're delish! I did the one egg version with a side of homefries and found I was plenty full.
