Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 200 grams asparagus
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until well combined.

Step 3

Add salt and black pepper to the egg mixture and whisk again briefly.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for a few seconds.

Step 5

Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt completely and coat the surface of the pan.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue stirring occasionally to create soft folds of scrambled eggs.

Step 8

When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, add the sautéed asparagus back into the skillet. Stir gently to combine and finish cooking the eggs to your desired doneness.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat. If using, sprinkle the scrambled eggs and asparagus with parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately, garnished with extra black pepper or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your Scrambled Eggs and Asparagus!
