Scrambled Eggs With Asparagus Recipes

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss 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 Parmesan 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. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet. 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.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SMOKED SALMON, ASPARAGUS AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet or saute pan over medium heat. When the butter begins to foam, add the asparagus and cook until just tender ("crisp-tender" in kitchen parlance). Season with salt and pepper.
• Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk with the milk. Season with a few pinches of salt and pepper and add to the pan with the asparagus. Turn the heat down to low and use a wooden spoon to constantly stir and scrape the eggs until they begin to form soft curds.
• Remove from the heat when the eggs are still creamy and soft and then fold in the smoked salmon and feta cheese.

SOFT HERB SCRAMBLED EGG WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Steam asparagus spears for 4-5 mins until tender.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small pan and scramble the eggs. Once the eggs are set softly, stir through the taragon or chervil and season to taste.
• Pile the eggs on to the asparagus and hot, buttered slices of ciabatta. Top with a few shavings of parmesan and serve.

SPANISH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH PIMENTON AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Trim the woody ends from the asparagus, removing tough fibrous outer layers from the stalks if they are large - a potato peeler is good for this.
• Cut the asparagus into 1" lengths - setting aside the tips.
• Bring a pan of water to the boil and boil the asparagus for 2 to 4 minutes - excluding the tips; add the tips and boil for a further 2 minutes.
• Drain carefully - the asparagus should be just tender but not too soft.
• Beat the eggs with the spices and seasonings.
• Warm the olive oil with the butter in a large roomy pan - over a moderate heat.
• When the butter has melted and the oil is sizzling, add the beaten eggs.
• Stir for 1 minute with a wooden spoon, then add the asparagus. Cook for a further 1 - 2 minutes, until the eggs are just set.
• Serve at once, sprinkled with pimenton, crusty bread and side dishes of olives, almonds and choritzo.

• In a small nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until just set. Divide pasta and eggs among four plates, top with ricotta, and season with salt and pepper.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 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.
