Clean Eating Asparagus & Herb Omelet

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. And I know for myself, starting the day off with a nutritious and delicious breakfast really gives me the energy I need to get going. Now, I'm forever changing up what I eat for breakfast, but one of my favorite meals is to take some leftover veggies and chop them up into an omelette. So for this quick bite, I'm going to show you how to make my asparagus and herb omelette. And here's all you'll need. One egg, two egg whites, now I'm using pre-separated eggology egg whites, these are both organic and kosher. Two teaspoons of chopped herbs, I'm using mint and basil. A quarter cup of steamed chopped asparagus, two tablespoons of feta cheese, a splash of milk, and some salt and pepper to taste. Now making this omelette couldn't be any easier. All I'm going to do is combine my egg, egg whites, a splash of milk, a tablespoon or so, and a good pinch of salt. Then I'll give that a quick whisk and finish it up with my fresh herbs. You know fresh herbs are a great way to add a ton of flavor without any extra calories or fat. Okay, that's good to go, so let's bring it over to the stove. So I've got the broiler preheating because that's how I'm going to finish my omelette off. And on top of the stove I've got an eight inch non-stick saute pan that I'm going to coat with a little bit of olive oil spray. Now if you don't have spray, go ahead and use a little bit of olive oil or butter, you just don't want your eggs to stick. Now I'm going to turn this up to a medium low heat. And remember guys, the key to cooking eggs is low and slow. So you can go ahead and get the eggs in the pan before the pan is even heated up. Now we'll give it a couple minutes until it starts to set. Once you see the edges starting to set, you want to, with a rubber spatula, gently start to pull the edges in towards the center and roll the uncooked egg towards the outside. This will get the eggs cooking all the way around. Now once you see that the egg is set all throughout the pan except for that little bit of wetness on top, then you're going to shut your heat off and put your filling in. So I've got my asparagus and I'm only going to put this on one half of the eggs. And I'll top that with the feta cheese. Just sprinkle that right on top. Now I'm going to pop the whole thing under the boiler for just about 45 seconds to a minute just to finish cooking off the top. Okay we'll pull that out and we'll finish it up. Now to finish it up, you're just going to come underneath the half of the omelette without the filling and fold it right onto itself like a half moon. Now how easy was that? It's all ready to go. I'm just going to slip it out of the pan and top it with a few extra herbs. So the next time you're looking for a delicious and nutritious breakfast, be sure you try my asparagus and herb omelette. I'm telling you, it's a great way to start the day. For more clean, simple and delicious recipes, check out dannyspees.com. I'm Dannyspees and I'll see you next time with another quick bite.
