Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and asparagus pieces to the skillet.

- Add 2 tablespoons of nonfat milk to the bowl.
- Season with 5 dashes of black pepper.
- 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:
- Make sure to finely chop the onion to ensure it cooks evenly and quickly in the omelet.
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears before chopping them into bite-sized pieces for a more tender bite.
- Whisk the egg and nonfat milk together thoroughly to create a light and fluffy omelet.
- Cook the omelet over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring it cooks through evenly.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to enhance the flavor to your liking.
