Zesty Mushroom and Asparagus Open Omelet
This is an old standby that I have modified for Fat Flush. The dried mustard gives this dish just the kick it needs.
4 eggs
½ cup steamed asparagus, chopped and drained
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon purified water
½ teaspoon dried mustard
½ tablespoon fresh parsley, finely minced
½ teaspoon onion powder
Beat eggs in a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Pour the egg mixture into a preheated, nonstick skillet and cook over medium heat. As mixture sets, lift up the edges and tilt skillet, so that the uncooked egg flows underneath and sets. When underside is set (about 2 minutes), turn over with a spatula. Cook until bottom is set and turns golden brown. Serve immediately.
Variation :
For phase 3:
top with 2 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese.
