What's for breakfast?

To me, breakfast is the most difficult meal in terms of knowing what to prepare and the most important meal of the day. Some people skip breakfast, which is not good. It's like trying to drive a car without gas. Because it's the first meal of the day, your body needs the nutrients to carry you through until lunch.

This Asparagus Omelet is a good example of a good breakfast. Asparagus is a good source of vitamins and minerals.

Main Ingredients:

3 organic eggs:

6 asparagus spears,

1 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese (or 1 tbsp cheddar cheese)

1/2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 tbsp. salt and pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C). Place an oven proof pan with 1/2 tbsp olive oil in the oven.

2. Cut off the bottom tough part of the asparagus spears.

3. Steam them for 5 minutes or until tender. Alternatively you can boil them with a little bit of salt. Cut them into 2 cm (1 inch) pieces.

4. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, cheese, salt and pepper to blend well.

5. Remove the heated pan from the oven. Transfer asparagus pieces into the pan. Pour the egg mixture over it.

6. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 10 min or until done.

7. Serve it with fresh lemon juice.

Bon Appetit!
