Equipment

  • Skillet with lid
  • Kitchen knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium Eggs I used two egg whites and 1 egg
  • 3 stalks Asparagus
  • 1 strip Bacon
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Ham
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1/3 cup Shredded Swiss Cheese
  • 1 sprig Fresh Thyme
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a warmed skillet, heat olive oil and add minced garlic.
  • Add in chopped asparagus, bacon, and ham. (If using these ingredients from the raw form, add prior to garlic to cook for a longer time-I used from pre-cooked holiday leftovers).
  • As ingredients become tender, add fresh thyme and pepper.
  • In mixing bowl, whisk eggs with a splash of water until light bubbles form.
  • Turning the heat lower, pour eggs over eggs and cover with lid.
  • Be careful not to check on your eggs to allow them to fluff!
  • When the eggs are mostly cooked, add 2/3 of the swiss cheese, returning lid.
  • Fold omelet in half and add remaining cheese.
    Serve with a fresh breakfast salad (I used a quick dijon mustard, lemon and olive oil dressing) and fresh fruit. Enjoy!
