This quick 10-minute omelette recipe calls for liquid egg substitute, but you can use 2 whole eggs instead if that's what you have on hand; just keep in mind that this may change the nutritional value. The omelette is flavored with Swiss cheese, asparagus, green peas, and sweet red peppers for a savory breakfast or brunch. Sprinkle with fresh chives right before serving. We find that the easiest way to chop chives is to snip them with kitchen scissors, as they make nice sharp cuts. Hold the chives over a small cup so that the pieces fall into it as you snip.
