Provided by Claire Robinson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed and cleaned
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for seasoning
Freshly ground black pepper
6 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons butter

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!

Provided by Food Network

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound thin asparagus, rinsed, woody ends removed
3 tablespoons unsalted imported or organic butter
12 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream (preferably organic)
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Salt and freshly ground pepper

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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS



Roasted Asparagus with Scrambled Eggs image

Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound fresh asparagus
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup freshly grated Parmesan
6 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
2 to 4 slices 7-grain bread

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.

PARMESAN EGGS



Parmesan Eggs image

Take your morning eggs to the next level by nestling them in a crispy halo of Parmesan. The eggs will cook nicely while the cheese becomes an irresistibly lacy cracker, what Italians call a "frico" or cheese crisp. These eggs are lovely eaten by themselves but even better when served on top of avocado toast, in a breakfast sandwich or perhaps on top of a bed of arugula--the possibilities are endlessly delicious!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan (about 1.5 ounces; see Cook's Note)
2 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set aside 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan in an 8-inch ring around the edge of a large nonstick skillet, leaving a 7-inch empty circle in the center. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan in a line down the center of the circle, dividing it into 2 half-circles. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Gently crack an egg into each half-circle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the whites are almost set and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cheese is browned but the egg yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes more. Gently slide the eggs onto a serving plate. The cheese will crisp as it cools.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS



Skillet-Baked Eggs and Asparagus image

Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, more for drizzling
3/4 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
8 large eggs
6 tablespoons roughly chopped soft herbs like basil, cilantro, chives or parsley use at least 2
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Salt
black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the asparagus and the scallions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is browned and tender.
  • Whisk together the eggs, 4 tablespoons of the herbs, and cream. Whisk in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over asparagus and place the skillet in the oven.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until set, but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. It is best warm, not hot.
  • Squeeze one or two lemon wedges over it, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and remaining herbs. Cut into wedges.
