This comes from a really tasty dip I had a while back. It’s like a classic spinach-artichoke dip but with more depth and a bit of a nutty flavour from the asiago.
Don’t go wild and crazy with this one and try to roast your own artichokes. The jarred variety work perfectly well.
And asiago is one of the harder cheeses — like parmesan — so it should stay good in your fridge for a long time. It’s a nice one to have on hand at all times.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
