Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Prepare the Bacon: In a large skillet, cook bacon lardons over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble. Reserve rendered bacon fat in the skillet.

02

Step
3 mins

Blanch the Asparagus: Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and blanch until tender-crisp, 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

03

Step
5 mins

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil (or 1 tablespoon of reserved bacon fat) in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion, tomato, and mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

04

Step
1 mins

Combine the Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Add crumbled bacon, sautéed vegetables, blanched asparagus, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Gently combine.

05

Step
12 mins

Cook the Omelette: Pour egg mixture into an oven-proof nonstick skillet. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the omelette is mostly set but still slightly moist on top, about 10-12 minutes.

06

Step
1 mins

Add Cheese and Broil: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the omelette.

07

Step
2 mins

Broil: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler. Broil the omelette until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden-brown crust, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dollop of garlic and herb cream cheese to the omelette before broiling.
Feel free to substitute other cheeses such as Gruyere, provolone, or cheddar for the mozzarella.
Serve immediately with a side of toasted baguette slices or fresh croissants for a complete and satisfying meal.

    I didn't have heavy cream, so I used milk and it still turned out great.

  • Sylvan Jacobson

    I added some smoked salmon and it was incredible!

  • Chelsie Cummings

    The broiling step really makes the cheese perfectly melty and brown.
