Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting the bottom 1–2 inches.
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the asparagus into a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the asparagus is roasting, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk or cream and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, coating the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula, until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat.
Remove the roasted asparagus from the oven and divide it onto plates.
Top the asparagus with the scrambled eggs and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
