Equipment

  • 10" cast-iron skillet

Ingredients

  • 8-10 asparagus spears chopped
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp goat cheese crumbles
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Toss the asparagus and olive oil together in a bowl. Transfer to a 10” cast-iron skillet and season the asparagus with salt and pepper.
  • Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and a dash of salt. This is also a great time to slice up your green onions.
  • Remove the cast iron carefully with mitts. Add the butter to your skillet and mix with asparagus until the butter has fully melted and coated the bottom.
  • Toss in most of the green onions evenly (save a pinch for topping at the end), then pour the egg mixture into the pan. Evenly top the eggs with goat cheese crumbles, then place the skillet back in the oven.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Remove from the oven and top with green onions. Slice and serve!
