Grilled asparagus is an excellent side dish and can be prepared in many ways. Asparagus spears may be grilled on a pan or covered with foil. They can also be skewered together. The thickness of the spears as well as the surface to be cooked will affect the cooking time. The asparagus should be cooked for about four to five mins. Garnish the asparagus with lemon juice, parmesan cheese and garnish.
Two skewers are enough to grill asparagus. This allows for easy flipping. You can also put the asparagus in a grill basket. In either case you need to wait for 3-4 minutes before flipping it. Continue to cook it for two to three more minutes.
Asparagus spears can have woody ends which should be trimmed. The asparagus won't cook if the ends aren't removed. You should also coat the surface with olive oil or another oil. Butter tends to scorch when used on the grill. If you love the taste of butter, however, you can still use it.
Wash the asparagus thoroughly before you start to cook. This will eliminate any grit/sand from the stalk. Once the stalks are clean, place them on the grill and turn them frequently to ensure even cooking. After they are cooked, you can add sauces or other toppings to them.
Grilled asparagus is delicious and easy to prepare. It has a smoky and charred flavor. The asparagus can be grilled immediately or left at room temperature for one hour. Grilled asparagus is an excellent side dish for large parties or buffets. It can be easily multiplied by a factor of three, four, or five.
Grilled asparagus goes well with almost any dish. You can pair it with pork tenderloin or grilled fish. It tastes great and you can make your own dressings. It has quickly become a staple in our household. We love it so much, we grill it twice a week.
To get the best results, cut the asparagus stalks at the hard end. To prepare the stems if they are very thick, you can use a vegetable peeler. You can also cut them. After cutting the stalks off, season the asparagus using olive oil. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper. Grill the asparagus until tender when it is done.
While asparagus will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days, it is best to cook them on a grill as soon as possible. Place your asparagus in a container with water to extend its shelf life. A few cherry tomatoes and balsamic wine can be added to grilled asparagus for a tasty touch. Sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top.

How to make the perfect omelet
Omelets are my favorite breakfast dish. How do you make them perfect? There are many recipes and methods I tried, but none worked. I have some tips and tricks to help you make delicious, fluffy omelets every single morning.
We should first know that eggs are very temperamental ingredients when making omelets. The eggs must be fresh from an organic source and kept at room temperature until they are ready to be cooked. If you don't keep them cold enough, the whites won't form properly, and the yolks will break down too much and become runny. This causes your omelets to look oddly colored. If you want to make omelets right away, it's best not to use eggs that are too cold.
You might also try separating the egg before adding to the pan. Because this could cause your omelet to become curdled, you don't want any yolk to be mixed with any white.
The egg can burn if it is placed directly on the stovetop. Instead, place the egg in the microwave for 10 second before you put it in the skillet. The microwave heat cooks the eggs just right without overcooking them.
Next, let’s talk about mixing the egg. Mixing eggs together is important. You need to beat them well. To do this, grab the bowl of the mixer and turn it upside down. Then, vigorously shake the bowl. The egg will be thoroughly mixed in the bowl as the air is whipped.
The fun part is now - adding the milk to the mixture. Fold the eggs in the milk mixture by first pouring half of it into the egg whites. Do not worry if you see streaks of egg; they will disappear when the omelet is flipped.
After you have folded your eggs, heat up the oil on medium heat. Wait for it to get hot. Once the oil starts getting hot, add 1/4 cup of butter to the pan and swirl it around to coat the entire surface of the pan. Now carefully crack open the lid of the pan and sprinkle salt into the pan. A pinch of salt will help prevent the omelet from sticking to the pan.
Once the omelet has formed, cover the pan again and wait for the top side to set completely. Flip the omelet over using a spatula or flip the pan upside down. Cook the opposite side for another minute. Serve the omelet immediately by removing it from the pan.
This recipe is best made with whole milk. However, it can also be used with skimmed milk.
