Keto Asparagus and Parmesan Omelet

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 8 minutes
  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Servings: 2

 

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup cooked asparagus, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (or olive oil)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Heat the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook gently, lifting the edges with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath.
  4. Once the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over one side of the omelet.
  5. Fold the omelet in half and cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
  6. Slide the omelet onto a plate, garnish with extra Parmesan or herbs if desired, and serve immediately.

 

Notes

  • Asparagus Tip: Blanch the asparagus briefly before adding it to the skillet for a brighter green color and softer texture.
  • Cheese Options: Swap Parmesan for Gruyère or sharp cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • Add Protein: Include cooked bacon or smoked salmon for a heartier omelet.
