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.

SCRAMBLED EGGS OVER ASPARAGUS

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!

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.

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

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.

ASPARAGUS WITH POACHED EGG



Asparagus with Poached Egg image

A poached egg on a pile of tender steamed asparagus is a fine meal; a shaving of hard aged cheese, such as Parmesan, is an added treat -- and don't forget freshly ground pepper.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound asparagus, trimmed and peeled
4 large eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, thinly shaved
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Tie asparagus into a bundle using kitchen twine. Place in the basket of an asparagus pot filled with 1 inch water. Cover, and bring water to a boil. Steam asparagus until tender, 2 to 6 minutes.
  • Fill a large saucepan with 4 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. When water is barely simmering, break 1 egg into a small heatproof bowl. Gently tip bowl, sliding egg carefully into water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Cook until whites are set but yolks are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to paper towels, and drain briefly.
  • Divide asparagus among 4 plates, and top each with an egg. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh asparagus. If you don't have fresh asparagus, you can use frozen asparagus, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese, you can use another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.
  • To make the eggs even more fluffy, separate the egg yolks and whites and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the yolks.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. They should be cooked until they are just set, but still slightly runny.
  • Serve the eggs immediately with your favorite toast or breakfast potatoes.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and Parmesan scrambled eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They're perfect for a quick meal on a busy weekday morning or for a lazy weekend brunch. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that will please everyone at the table.
