ASPARAGUS OMLETTE WITH BISCUITS

Posted by: misschef on May 22, 2008

I was motivated this morning and popped over to Tom's to get some eggs for an omlette. So, while searching through my refrigerator I found the asparagus I had bought to go with the salmon, though I hadn't used it. Inspiration hit and this is what I ended up with.

Ingredients:

+ eggs (as many as you'd like)
+ asparagus (leftovers if you have them)
+ lemon juice
+ garlic
+ pepper
+ salt
+ oil
+ butter
+ cheese (I use feta, but parmesan or swiss would go really well too)
+ tomatoes (optional)
+ biscuits

Preparation:

1. First things first, steam the asparagus in a steamer or in the microwave. Add a little salt and pepper (lemon pepper if you have it) and sprinkle some lemon juice over top while it steams. I like to cut my asparagus into one inch pieces and go from there, but this is a preference issue. This shouldn't take more than four minutes or so.

2. Get your biscuits in the oven. I usually buy them in the tubes and stick them on a pan so it takes ten minutes, give or take a few.

3. While your asparagus is steaming start melting your butter. Now, here is another personal insight. I like using oil and butter in my pan with eggs. It gives a healthy (albeit fatty) and full flavor. But if you're aiming for something a little more healthy stick with the olive oil and you'll be just fine.

4. Add the garlic to the pan and let it simmer a little. You want to make sure the flavor really gets out there. Here you have the option of using some tomato. I, personally, do not like cooked tomato, so I leave mine on the side, but feel free to lightly saut
