It’s time.

For ASPARAGUS e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.

Gimme an A-S-P…..okay, I’ll stop.

Really, though. Please tell me I’m not the only foodie here currently crushing on all things asparagus. It’s the #1 thing I look forward to most about spring. No liez.

And it somehow ends up in…..well, ALL the things this time of year.

Sorry to all the asparagus-haters out there. There’s definitely more coming.

So every Saturday morning we have kind of a tradition in my family that I’ll make my mom a special omelet usually loaded with ALL the works. She says it’s the highlight of her week.

I’ve heard omelets can do that. 😉

Last Saturday morning as I was contemplating the omelet-filling possibilities for Mom’s omelet, my eyes fell upon a gorgeously-GORGEOUS bagful of asparagus.

I was like YES! This is gonna be epic. Let’s DOOOO this!

But then….I thought, am I taking things a little too far with the ‘sparagus? Maybe I should check with Mom first….

 So the conversation went something like this….

Me: How do you feel about asparagus in your omelet this morning?

Mom: Is that even a question?? Pile it in!

I just KNEW I got that asparagus obsession from someone in my family and I guess that just confirmed who.

Normally I’ll make just Mom an omelet on Saturday mornings and I’ll usually have a bowl of cereal or something, (ugh, I’m so lame I know….) but once the idea of asparagus-loaded omelets entered into my head I knew I could NOT just have boring cornflakes for breakfast. The omelet call had spoken.

I couldn’t ignore….

So two ginormous, greek-loaded, asparagus-stuffed omelets were made that morning. And devoured like nobody’s business.

My mom’s and my consensus? Asparagus BELONGS in an omelet. Also, we’ve just found our go-to Saturday-morning omelet.

Lastly, my cornflakes are taking a backseat for the foreseeable future.

Let’s do a run-down of all the awesomeness loaded into these beauties, yes?

• We’ve got the gorgeous asparagus spears. Obviously the most important part.
• Juicy, uber-fresh cherry tomatoes. My jam.
• An overload of feta cheese. Feta is everything, the end.

All this loaded inside the FLUFFIEST eggs you can imagine. So fluffy I am going to DIE!

Oh, and a quick tip: If you were wise you would slice up an avocado or twenty and serve it on the side of your perfectly-loaded omelet.

Because um, avocados are life and belong in everything. It’s a must.

Brunch is ON, guys! Happy, happy Monday. 🙂
