YIELD: 2 servings.Ingredients
- 4 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 2 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
Instructions
- 1. Fill a small saucepan three-fourths full with water; bring to a boil. Add asparagus; cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry.
- 2. In a small bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream, onion, salt and pepper flakes. In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture. Mixture should set immediately at edge. As eggs set, push cooked portions toward the center, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- 3. When eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains, top 1 side with cream cheese and asparagus. Fold omelet in half. Reduce heat to low; let stand, covered, until cream cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. Cut omelet in half before serving.
