 Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 4 + 10 min | Servings: 4 to 6| Difficulty: Beginner  


 
 2 to 3 eggs per person (use whole or remove some yolks if desired)
 ¼ cup onions, sliced
 ¼ cup bell peppers, sliced
 6 asparagus spears, trimmed
 ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
 2 hearts of palm, sliced
 3 tablespoons milk, dairy or non-dairy
 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
 ½ teaspoon black pepper (divided)
 1 tablespoon olive oil
 3 sprigs fresh rosemary (or your favorite herb)

Egg yolks from farm-raised eggs are healthy and contain antioxidants.


 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
    Wash and slice the onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and hearts of palm. Trim the asparagus.
    Arrange the vegetables on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with half of the salt, pepper, and rosemary or your favorite herb.
    Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until tender.

2. Prepare the Omelet:
    Whisk together the eggs, preferred milk, and the remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl.
    Preheat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
    Pour the egg mixture into the pan and allow it to set for about 12 minutes.
   
3. Add the Veggies and reduce the temperature to medium:
    Once the eggs begin to set, add the roasted vegetables evenly across the omelet.
    Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.

4. Fold and Serve:
    Carefully fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a plate.
    Garnish with fresh rosemary or your favorite herb and enjoy your beautiful and nutritious meal!



 Tips:
1. Meal Prep Friendly: Roast extra veggies and store them in the fridge for a quick and easy addition to future omelets.
2. Customize Your Omelet: For added variety, swap in your favorite veggies, such as spinach, tomatoes, or zucchini.
3. Egg Whites Only Option: You can use only egg whites and skip the yolk for an even lighter version.
4. Full Eggs, yolk, and egg white: Egg yolks from farm-raised eggs are healthy and contain antioxidants.


Enjoy this vibrant and nutritious family brunch omelet day at any time of day!
