Asparagus Scrambled Eggs
Tender sautéed asparagus folded into softly scrambled eggs with butter, black pepper, and a finishing touch of ground red pepper.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Rinse and thoroughly dry the asparagus. Trim away the woody ends, then cut the stalks into 2 cm pieces.
-
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and whisk until evenly combined.
-
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the prepared asparagus and sauté, stirring occasionally, until tender but still slightly firm.
-
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter and stir until melted, then pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the asparagus.
-
Step 5
Cook over low heat, gently folding the eggs with a spatula, until softly set with no liquid egg remaining and the center reaches 71°C.
-
Step 6
Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle with the ground red pepper, and serve immediately.
