You can serve this omelet with a thin slice of ham or prosciutto and fresh fruit on the side for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

1 small bunch asparagus
Drizzle of olive oil
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper

Directions:

Snap off or trim the dry ends of the asparagus stems and discard. Cut the remaining spears into 3-inch pieces.
In a medium-sized pot filled with boiling, salted water, boil the asparagus for 3 minutes. Strain the asparagus.
Heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, and then sauté the asparagus for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt and pepper using a fork.
