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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the asparagus and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting the bottom 1–2 inches.
Step 3
Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
Spread the asparagus into a single layer and roast in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, coating the pan.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the roasted asparagus from the oven and divide it onto plates.
Step 9
Top the asparagus with the scrambled eggs and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
