    Simple Spring Veggie Omelet

    Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe Print Recipe

    This weather has me feeling a bit cranky.

    Sorry Mother Nature.  I know you don't like to rush things, but come on!  It's June!

    The relentless rain and coolish weather here in the Northeast leaves me dreaming of warm summer days.

    Until the sun shines again, I'm focusing on these Jersey fresh radishes, asparagus and mushrooms I got the other day at the market.  I couldn't decide what to use first so I thought I'd bring them all together in a quick and easy omelet.

    Until recently, I despised the idea of making an omelet.  I guess it's because I've had a few failed attempts in the past, whether the eggs stuck to the pan, it was overcooked or it tasted blah.  Recently, I watched a few videos and realized you do need to know a few key things to get it right.  Here are the tips that helped me out the most:

    First, don't use too many eggs (3-4 max).  If you use too many, especially in a small pan, they won't cook right.

    Second, you must use a really good non-stick fry pan and butter that sucker up!

    Third, don't overcook the eggs!  Nothing is worse than a dried out omelet!  Once the eggs set along the side of the pan and are still slightly watery in the center you know you're done!

    And finally, use the freshest ingredients you can find to make a killer tasting omelet!

    I like adding seasonal ingredients to my eggs.  Asparagus and mushrooms are quickly and easily sautéed right before adding in the eggs.  The fresh crisp radishes over top add a bit of crunch and texture. Scallions add an extra burst of flavor!  A sprinkle of crumbled feta isn't so bad either!  Bye, bye blah omelet!  One bite and you won't seem to mind the rain so much.

    To all of you weather weary folks... I hope this omelet brings you a little piece of sunshine!
