Preparation steps

01

Preparing asparagus — Wash asparagus with cold water. Trim the lower part of the stalks, about 2-3 cm. Cut the rest into pieces 5-7 cm in length. Time: 3 min. Reference: Asparagus is clean, ready for sautéing.

02

Making egg mixture — Break eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper. Beat well with a fork until smooth. Time: 2 min. Reference: Mixture is homogenous and smooth.

03

Heating the pan — Heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan with a diameter of 25-30 cm. Time: 2 min. Reference: Oil started to smoke slightly.

04

Sautéing asparagus — Place chopped asparagus in the pan, distribute evenly. Sauté, stirring frequently. Time: 3 min. Reference: Asparagus turned light golden, remained slightly crispy.

05

Pouring with eggs — Pour the prepared asparagus with the egg mixture, distribute evenly over the pan. Do not stir. Time: 1 min. Reference: Eggs spread over the entire surface of the asparagus.

06

Cooking under the lid — Cover the pan with a lid, reduce heat to medium. Cook until the edge of the omelet begins to set, but the center remains soft. Time: 6 min. Reference: Edge of the omelet is firm, the center is still slightly runny.

07

Tip: Cook the omelet over medium heat for even cooking. If you like it with a soft center, remove the pan from the heat when the omelet is still slightly runny - the heat from the pan will finish it off. Serve with crispy bread and a cup of tea or coffee.
