Ingredients
4 asparagus spears
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Chopped parsley
1 tbs butter
2 slices ham
2 tbs tasty cheese, grated

Method

  • Wash hands.
  • Bring a saucepan of water to the boil.
  • Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody part at the base.
  • Blanch the spears for 3 minutes in the boiling water. Remove them immediately and put on a plate.  Cut them in half.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs.  Add the parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan. Add the butter and allow it to melt.  Use a paper towel to spread it over the whole base.
  • Pour the egg into the frypan, tilting it so that the egg spreads evenly.
  • Cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom has set.
  • Place the ham on one half of the omelette, then the asparagus and the grated cheese.
  • Fold the other half of the omelette over the top.
  • Slide the whole thing onto a plate to serve.

TIP: Try other fillings such as cherry tomatoes or baby spinach.
