Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 3 asparagus spears cut into 2 inch pieces

Instructions

  • Heat a 5 inch non stick skillet over medium heat on the stove and add 1/2 of the butter. Add the asparagus and give a good shake. Cook the asparagus for about 5 – 6 minutes and remove from pan.
  • Add the eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a medium sized bowl. Whisk until foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • In the same skillet that you cooked the asparagus in, add remaining butter. Set the heat to medium low. Pour in the whisked eggs and let cook for about 2 minutes. Tipping the pan about every 30 seconds to spread out the egg mixture.
  • Add the asparagus and continue to slightly tilt the pan. Cook for a further 2 minutes

Notes

If the asparagus is really thick, cut it through the middle so it's thinner.  This will ensure more even cooking.
Can substitute other cheeses like Edam, Cheddar, Havarti or Swiss.
