Filled with Comté cheese, and topped with asparagus, this
French omelette comtoise makes breakfast into a special occasion.
INGREDIENTS
· 8 eggs
·
8 cooked asparagus sprigs
·
6 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
· 2 diced ham slices
· 200 gm Comté cheese, grated
· 200 ml of milk
· 1 onion, finely chopped
· 2 tablespoons oil*
· Nutmeg, grated
· Salt and pepper, to taste
* Do not cook with olive oil; all the goodness disappears in
the cooking. Use Rice Bran oil, or sunflower oil.
METHOD
Pre-heat the oven to 170°C.
1. Peel and chop the onions. Fry them until they become transparent using oil.
2. Whisk the milk with eggs in a bowl.
3. Add the tomatoes, ham, grated cheese and onion.
4. Season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with grated nutmeg to taste. Mix it all well.
5. Heat the oil in an oven-proof pan on the cooker. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 5 minutes.
6. Arrange the asparagus on top of the omelette, and put in
the oven for 15 minutes, so that the omelette rises. Keep an eye on it, to
prevent it from burning.
Enjoy!
