Yummy! I skip the pepper and add less than the whole bunch Of aspargus (I use maybe half?). When cooking those asparagus pieces on the stove, I use a little butter and a little oil until the asparagus turns bring green and then add in my scrambled eggs. I also add a little cheese (cheddar or mozzarella work well) into the eggs, and then once plated I add some shredded cheddar to melt on top… delicious! Easy breakfast to make for myself that’ll keep me going through most of the day
Jennie, Great tips! Thank you for the feedback. 🙂
I love scrambled eggs with asparagus!Like the previous commentor, I also saute the asparagus in a pan with olive oil until it turns bright green and add my egg mixture afterwards. I have to have tomatoes in my recipe, though. They add a certain moistness to the dish. Plus, the vibrant red of the tomatoes really makes for a more interesting food photo. Keep up your awesome recipes!
Oh, adding tomatoes is a wonderful idea, Bill! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I am a real tomato lover, Erin! Lol. Since I just started getting into food photography I’ve become really conscious of incorporating vibrant, contrasting colors into my recipes. I’ve become so obsessed with this my wife thinks I’m nuts!
