Ingredients

• 150 g wild asparagus
• 4 eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the wild asparagus under cool, running water to remove any dirt. Snap off the tough ends, leaving only the tender stalks.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender but still vibrant green. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt over medium-low heat, swirling it around to coat the bottom evenly.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Tilt and rotate the pan to spread the eggs evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.

Step 6

Scatter the sautéed wild asparagus evenly over one half of the omelet. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the omelet is mostly set but still slightly soft on top.

Step 7

Using a spatula, gently fold the omelet in half over the asparagus. Press it down lightly with the spatula to seal.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 1 minute to warm through, then slide the omelet onto a plate.

Step 9

Serve immediately while hot. Optionally, garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like parsley.
