Ingredients:
- 1 cup liquid egg substitute
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 Tbsp. chopped scallions
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ½ lb. asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1" pieces
- ¼ cup water
- 4 Tbsp. crumbled goat cheese
- Chives, for garnish
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, eggs, and milk. Stir in the scallions, thyme, parsley, pepper, and salt.
- Place the asparagus and water in a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 4 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Stop and stir after 2 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and add to the egg mixture.
- Heat a medium nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Pour one-quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom just begins to set. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cheese. Add one-quarter of the asparagus pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the eggs are almost set.
- Using a large spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the omelet is golden and the cheese is melted. Turn onto a plate and keep warm.
- Coat the skillet with cooking spray and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more omelets. Garnish with the chives.
