Asparagus Omelet

INGREDIENTS:
2 each        Eggs
4 each        Egg Whites
1 cup        Fresh Asparagus Tips, cut thinly
1 each        Green Onion, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp        Fatfree Sour Cream
1/8 tsp.     Lemon Pepper
2 Tbsp        Fatfree Cheddar Cheese
1/8 tsp        Dill weed
1/8 tsp        Chives, fresh fine chopped
Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a small mixing bowl whip egg whites, whole eggs, lemon pepper, dill weed and chives. Set aside .
2. Using the cooking spray, sauté the asparagus and green onion in a small, non-stick sauté pan over medium heat until tender. Remove from direct heat and add sour cream. Warm gently. Set aside.
3. Heat a non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Spray with a cooking spray. Add egg mixture. Let eggs firm up slightly on bottom of the pan. Then, using a rubber spatula, lift eggs slightly until the liquid eggs run under the firming eggs. Repeat until most of the liquid has run under the firm layer then flip.
4. When eggs are flipped over, add the asparagus mixture and the cheddar cheese to one side of the omelet. Fold in half then cut in half. This omelet makes 2 servings.
