Creamed Asparagus Omelet #BrunchWeek

You are here: Home / Food / Recipes / Spring Recipes / Creamed Asparagus Omelet #BrunchWeek
May 12, 2017 by Wendy Hammond
This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

I’m wrapping up #BrunchWeek today with a healthier recipe than the Strawberry Rhubarb Almond Rolls or Apple Sausage Cheddar Oven Pancake: A Creamed Asparagus Omelet!

Now, healthy doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste good. Asparagus is one of my favorite spring vegetables–even better when it’s local Michigan Asparagus! As you can see from the photo, my husband decided to put his creamed asparagus right on top of the omelet, because having it inside wasn’t enough. He wanted lots of asparagus goodness 🙂

This recipe is based on the Creamed Spinach Recipe from Simply in Season. I couldn’t figure out why the cream wasn’t as thick as when I made it with the spinach. Then I remembered that back when I made it with spinach, I was using raw milk. I have since stopped getting raw milk (I love it and believe it is the healthiest option, but my husband and I don’t go through much milk and there was a minimum amount we could get as a share). I used 2% milk for this version. In hindsight I would have either used cream or used less milk. So keep that in mind when you go to make this on your own.
