Ingredients for Asparagus Omelette Wraps

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Fresh Sage
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Pecorino Cheese
  • 1 pound asparagus
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

How to Make Asparagus Omelette Wraps

  1. Whisk together 6 large eggs in a bowl.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon dried sage, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese (or parmesan), and a generous pinch of freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. Lay the spears lengthwise in a pan with enough salted boiling water to cover.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp. Immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the hot skillet, tilting to create a thin, even crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until set.
  7. Repeat with the remaining egg mixture, creating 8-10 crepes.
  8. Fill each crepe with a few asparagus spears.
  9. Sprinkle with extra grated pecorino romano cheese (or parmesan).
  10. Roll up the crepes tightly and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
