Ingredients for Omelette with Asparagus and Mushrooms
- 4 chicken eggs
- 4 medium champignons
- 8 asparagus stalks, about finger-thick
- 4 teaspoons grated cheese
- olive oil
- sea salt to taste
How to Make an Omelette with Asparagus and Mushrooms
Wipe fresh champignons with a damp cloth; if they are very dirty, wash them thoroughly and pat dry. Finely chop the champignons. Grease silicone muffin molds with a drop of extra virgin olive oil.
Wash dirty mushrooms thoroughly and pat them dry.
Finely chop the peeled stalks.
Place equal portions of chopped champignons and asparagus.
Snap off the ends of the green asparagus stalks – they are not edible. You need to break off about 2-3 centimeters (about 1 inch), as this part is fibrous and woody. Peel the stalks with a vegetable peeler almost up to the tips. Cut off the asparagus tips. Finely chop the peeled stalks.
Place equal portions of the chopped champignons and asparagus into the greased molds. Sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
Crack large chicken eggs with bright yolks over the asparagus and mushrooms.
Crack large chicken eggs with bright yolks over the asparagus and mushrooms. If a hen’s diet includes carotene-rich foods like carrots, pumpkin, millet, corn, or beets, the yolk will be vibrant. If you buy eggs at the store, check the label; producers often try to inform customers about the quality of the egg yolk.
Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Grate hard cheese on a fine grater.
Place the omelette molds on the steamer rack.
Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of ground black pepper.
Grate hard cheese on a fine grater. The cheese is usually salty, so there’s no need to add more salt. Excess salt is not good for the body. Don’t skimp on the cheese; a teaspoon of grated cheese per serving is enough, and the flavor accent is important.
Place the omelette molds on the steamer rack. If you don’t have a steamer or special equipment, you can place the molds in a colander or sieve, and put the colander in a suitably sized pot. Pour two cups of hot water into the bottom of the pot. Cover the colander with a lid.
Steam for 15 minutes.
Place the asparagus tips on top of the omelette. Steam for 15 minutes. This is enough time to cook the green asparagus and finely chopped mushrooms. The omelette will turn out very delicious.
Serve the omelette with asparagus and mushrooms warm.
Serve the omelette with asparagus and mushrooms warm. If desired, you can drizzle it with a yogurt sauce made from unsweetened yogurt, finely chopped dill, and a pinch of sea salt.
And there you have it – a beautiful and nutritious breakfast ready in just a few simple steps! This Steamed Omelette with Asparagus and Mushrooms is not just food; it's a delightful experience. Serve it warm, perhaps with a slice of whole-grain toast or a side of fresh greens to complete the meal. The optional yogurt and dill sauce adds a creamy, refreshing finish that complements the earthy vegetables perfectly. We hope this recipe inspires you to embrace healthier cooking methods that don't compromise on taste. Enjoy your meal!
