1/8 tsp Ground black pepper

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg substitute, eggs, and mik. Stir in the scallions, thyme, parsley, pepper, and salt.

Place the asparagus and water in a large microwaveable bowl. Cover with vented plastic wrap and microwave on high power for 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Stop and stir after 1.5 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and add to the egg mixture.

heat a medium nonstick skilet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Pour one-half of the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the bottom just begins to set. Sprinkle with 1 tbl of the cheese. Add one-half of the asparagus pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the eggs are almost set.

Using a large spatula, fold the omelet in half. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the omelet is golden and the cheese is melted. Turn onto a plate and keep warm.

Coat the skillet with cooking spray and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make 1 more omelets. Garnish with the chives.
