**Asparagus Omelette**
**Ingredients:**
– 6 large eggs
– 1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Salt and pepper to taste
**Instructions:**
1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until well combined and frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until they are tender yet still slightly crisp. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
3. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread it evenly. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
5. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelette and tilt the skillet to let the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
6. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, sprinkle the sautéed asparagus evenly over one half of the omelette. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the filling to create a semi-circle shape. Press down gently with the spatula to seal.
8. Cook for another minute or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked through but still tender.
9. Slide the omelette onto a plate and serve hot. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.
