INGREDIENTS:
3 eggs 2 tbsps thick cream 30g/1 oz butter
6 green asparagus spears (the tinned variety are good for this recipe) salt and freshly ground white pepper



1 Beat together the eggs and cream; season well.
2 Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed omelette or frying pan.
3 Pour the mixture into the pan. You may either set the egg mixture over a low heat, leaving the omelette flat and adding the asparagus tips cut into 1-inch pieces all at the same time, and slide out keeping flat-do not turn it over like a pancake. Alternatively, with the back of a fork gather the omelette together over a good heat, in the French manner, add the spears cut into 1-inch pieces and warmed in a little melted butter, roll the omelette up and turn onto a heated plate.
