ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS - BAREFOOT CONTESSA / INA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat the asparagus completely.
• Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
• Roast the asparagus for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
• Sprinkle with the cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
• While the asparagus is roasting, whisk the eggs in a bowl with the half-and-half, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• Cook the eggs on the lowest heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, to the desired doneness.
• Remove from the heat, add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter, and stir until it melts. Check for seasoning, salt and pepper, if needed, and serve with the roasted asparagus and 7-grain bread.

THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
• Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
• Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
• Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Place the asparagus in the basket of a vegetable steamer and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water and drain. Pat dry. Cut each spear in half on a diagonal and cut the bottom of the spears into small dice.
• Melt half of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add all the asparagus and cook, gently stirring, to heat thoroughly.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet. Add the eggs and whisk in a figure eight, making sure the edges of the eggs don?t stick. When the eggs are almost set, slowly pour in the cream, a little at a time, continuing to whisk briskly.
• Sprinkle in the chives and whisk until the eggs are completely set. Divide the eggs and asparagus evenly among four plates, placing the spears and diced asparagus around the eggs or stack the spears so they lean against the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

PARMESAN ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• If the stalks of the asparagus are thick, peel the bottom 1/2 of each. Lay them in a single layer on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and return to the oven for another minute. Serve with lemon wedges.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH EGG GARNISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Put the egg in a small saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot, and remove from the heat; set aside for 10 minutes. Drain; roll the egg between your palm and the counter to crack the shell, and then peel under cool running water.
• Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Rub the egg through a medium-mesh strainer and sprinkle it over the asparagus.
• Grind a generous amount of black pepper over the top. Serve warm or room temperature.

SCRAMBLED EGGS OVER ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Clean and trim the asparagus by breaking off 1 asparagus end at its natural breaking point and lining up the tip end next to the remaining stalks. Trim them to the broken asparagus' length. Compost the woody ends. Lay the asparagus out on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Place them in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes or until tips are browned and starting to crisp.
• In a small cup, crack each egg. Add each egg to a mixing bowl, stir in the milk, and season with salt and pepper.
• Beat the egg mixture with a whisk, in a figure 8 pattern until the ingredients are completely blended together. In a nonstick saute pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, add the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring gently with a silicone spatula. Keep the eggs moving, continuing to cook until they are cooked but soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Warm the serving platter or serving plates in a preheated low temperature oven, or microwave the plate for 6 to 10 seconds. Scatter roasted asparagus on the heated plate, and spoon the scrambled eggs over the asparagus. Eat immediately and enjoy!
