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.

ASPARAGUS, FETA & DILL QUICHE



Asparagus, feta & dill quiche image

Make the most of eggs in this versatile veggie quiche. Baked with feta and asparagus, it's encased in a cheesy pastry and makes a perfect addition for a picnic

Provided by Melissa Thompson - Journalist and food writer

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Lunch

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
500g asparagus (about two bunches), woody stalks removed
100ml double cream
300ml crème fraîche
1 tbsp natural yogurt
3 eggs
¼ tsp white pepper
¼ tsp smoked paprika
small handful of dill
200g feta, cut into 1cm cubes
250g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
50g vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese, grated
130g cold salted butter, cut into cubes

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 5 mins more until the onion is soft but not golden. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
  • Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the asparagus for 3 mins. Drain, then plunge into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again. Set eight spears aside, then chop the rest into 3cm lengths.
  • For the pastry, combine the flour and cheese in a bowl, then rub in the butter using your fingers until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 1 tbsp cold water at a time until the mixture comes together into a dough - you may need 3-6 tbsp water. Wrap and chill in the freezer for 5 mins to firm up slightly.
  • Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface until it's large enough to line a deep 23cm flan tin with a slight overlap. Using the rolling pin to help you, unravel the pastry over the tin and gently push the pastry into the edge. Trim the overhanging pastry so it comes up 2cm past the rim of the tin. Gently prick the pastry base all over using a fork, then return to the freezer to chill for 15 mins. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
  • Scrunch up a square of baking parchment, then use it to line the chilled pastry case. Fill with baking beans and bake for 15 mins. Remove the baking beans and parchment and bake for 5 mins more. Leave to cool. Meanwhile, combine the cream, crème fraîche, yogurt and eggs in a bowl, but don't stir too hard - avoid creating bubbles. Stir in the fried onion mixture, the pepper and paprika, then fold in the dill, most of the feta and the cooked asparagus.
  • Put the pastry case on a baking tray. Pour in the filling, ensuring the feta and chopped asparagus are evenly distributed, then add the whole asparagus spears and remaining feta.
  • Put in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Bake for 35-40 mins until set with a slight wobble in the middle. Leave to cool before slicing.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SMOKED SALMON, ASPARAGUS AND FETA CHEESE



Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon, Asparagus and Feta Cheese image

I found this recipe on Women's health magazine website. I changed the cheese from goat to feta because I don't like goat cheese. I also changed when you put in the cheese because I did not want the cheese melted.

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
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.

BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH, ASPARAGUS, AND PROSCIUTTO



Baked Eggs With Spinach, Asparagus, and Prosciutto image

From Food and Wine Magazine: Bake the eggs, in their nests of crusty bread, until the whites are just set. When you cut into the egg, the still-liquid yolk acts as a sauce. If spicy food is your fancy, try serving a favorite salsa on the side. I haven't had a chance to try this yet. I just wanted to post it so that I could remind myself to make it.

Provided by Cultural Twist

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small round loaf crusty bread, 2 ends removed, the rest cut into 4 thick slices (about 10 ounces)
3/4 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded, spears cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 lb thin-sliced prosciutto
1/4 lb gruyere, grated
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, drained, and squeezed dry
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450°. Put the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes in all. Transfer to an oiled baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
  • Using your fingers, make a depression in the center of each slice of bread. Arrange one or two slices of prosciutto around the edge of each slice of bread. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Press a quarter of the remaining cheese into the center of each slice of bread. Top the cheese with the spinach, and then surround that with the asparagus. Break an egg into a small dish. Carefully slip the egg into one of the spinach nests. Repeat with remaining eggs. Sprinkle the eggs with the salt and pepper and the reserved cheese. Bake, covered, until the egg whites are just set, 10 to 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal ingredients. This will ensure that your eggs with feta and asparagus are as flavorful as possible. Spring is the best time to find fresh asparagus, but you can also use frozen or canned asparagus in a pinch.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus. Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. If you overcook it, it will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese is a salty, tangy cheese that pairs perfectly with eggs and asparagus. Look for a feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or goat's milk for the best flavor.
  • Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. This will help to bring out the flavor of the eggs and the other ingredients.
  • Serve the eggs with feta and asparagus immediately. This dish is best enjoyed when it is hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Eggs with feta and asparagus is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up fresh, seasonal ingredients and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
