Asparagus Omelet W/Shrimp Hollandaise Sauce (For Andi)
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons water (may use milk or cream)
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 -10 fresh asparagus spears (well-trimmed & cooked till crisp tender, may sub canned)
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 -2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 12 cup butter (melted)
- 4 ounces baby shrimp
- 2 teaspoons fresh parsley (chopped opt garnish & may sub dried parsley)
- FOR SAUCE - Place egg yolks, lemon juice & pepper in blender container & blend till lemon-colored.
- Turn blender to high & very slowly add butter.
- Blend till thick (about 30 seconds).
- Pour sauce into top of a dbl boiler, stir in baby shrimp & set aside.
- FOR OMELETS - Whisk eggs w/water, salt & pepper till well-mixed.
- Melt 1 tbsp butter in an omelet pan or suitable non-stick skillet.
- Pour in half the egg mixture & cook, lifting the edge of the omelet to let the egg mixture run onto the pan.
- When the omelet is well-set, gently slide the omelet onto a plate, place 4-5 asparagus spears in the center, fold over & keep warm while you prepare the 2nd omelet in the same way.
- (Secure omelets w/a wooden cocktail pick as desired).
- TO SERVE - Heat shrimp hollandaise sauce slowly in top of dbl boiler over hot water, spoon sauce over omelets, sprinkle w/parsley if using & serve immediately.
- NOTE - My only issue w/this recipe was the yield.
- These are lrg omelets & the recipe stated it served 2.
- However, if you serve w/bread, fruit or other breakfast/brunch item, this recipe definitely serves 4 IMO.
