Ingredients

• 200 grams asparagus
• 4 stalks scallions (green onions)
• 6 large eggs
• 120 milliliters whole milk
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, then cut the remaining stalks into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.

Step 3

Thinly slice the scallions and set aside, keeping the white and green parts separate.

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the white parts of the scallions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the whole milk, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until fully combined.

Step 7

Stir the sautéed asparagus and scallion mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in the sliced green parts of the scallions.

Step 8

Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Let the egg bake cool slightly for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm. Enjoy!
