- Beat the egg mixture until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Reheat the same skillet over medium heat. If necessary, add a few more drops of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the heated skillet, tilting the skillet to ensure the egg covers the bottom evenly.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
- Once the edges of the omelet have set, evenly distribute the sautéed onion and asparagus over one half of the omelet.
- Carefully fold the omelet in half, covering the vegetable side with the plain side.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked through and the vegetables are heated.
- Slide the omelet onto a plate and serve immediately.
Tips:
