Asparagus Omelet

1 envelope hollandaise sauce mix

1 cup milk

1/4 cup butter or margarine

8 bacon strips, diced

1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed & cut to 1-inch pieces

3 TBSP water

12 eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup (4oz) shredded mozzarella cheese

 

   In a saucepan, prepare the hollandaise sauce mix with milk and butter according to package directions; keep warm.  In a skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels.  In the drippings, sauté mushrooms until tender, set aside.

   Place asparagus and water in a microwave-safe bowl.  Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain & keep warm.

   Heat a 8-in. skillet coated with non-stick spray over medium-low heat; add 3/4 cup beaten eggs (3 eggs).  As eggs set, lift edges, letting uncooked eggs flow underneath.  Sprinkle with 1/4 of the asparagus, 1/4 cup cheese and a 1/4 of mushrooms.  Fold omelet in half.  Cover for 1-2 minutes or until all of cheese is melted.  Repeat for remaining omelets.  Top with hollandaise sauce and bacon.

Yield: 4 servings
