kcalThis light omelet is simple to make but delightfully complex in flavor. It is elevated with asparagus, spring onions, and fresh herbs. The Havarti cheese adds a slightly sharp and buttery layer of flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup 1-inch asparagus pieces
3 large free-range eggs
3 tbsp organic heavy (whipping) cream
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsp Golden Ghee
1 cup shaved organic Havarti cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tbsp chopped spring onions
1 tbsp chopped wild fennel
Directions
- Set a steamer rack inside a large pot and pour in just enough water to come to the bottom of the rack. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus, cover the pot, and steam the asparagus until tender, about 6 minutes. Drain the asparagus and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt.
- In a medium skillet, melt the ghee over medium heat, rolling it around the pan as it melts, to coat the surface.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook until it can be flipped easily without breaking, about 5 minutes.
- Once the omelet is flipped, layer the cheese, asparagus, thyme, onions, and fennel over half of the omelet. Continue cooking the omelet until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes more.
- Fold the empty half of the omelet over the filled half and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
