Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cast-iron frying pan. Add the onions and saute until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook until just softened, 2 minutes.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the feta. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook until almost set, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until golden brown on top, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Reviews
My all time favorite breakfast when guests are over
Wish I had paid better attention to the other reviews as the top was burned after 5 minutes under the broiler, but like the others, I scraped off the burned part and thoroughly enjoyed the rest. This is a keeper, very tasty, and a great way to use the excess asparagus when this single lady buys the 4-pound package of asparagus at Sam’s Club.
Easy, tasty and I will definitely make this again. So light and I might try this with 2 cups of other veggies sometime.
I also used my cast iron enameled lined pan with2 t butter and pretty much doubled most of the ingreients. I also addes red pepper, mushrooms, sliced roma tomatoes, garlic and parmessan. The feta totally makes this dish!
Whole family loved this, including the kids. Great leftover too
Really easy to put together and tasty. Added 2 fresh tomatoes and some grated Parmesan on top. Only needed to broil for about 4 minutes.
Tastes great! But watch it closely because it cooked up in the oven on broil in only 3 minutes. I didn’t have any trouble with it sticking to the pan using a cast iron as suggested.
Watch it closely. It burned the top after 6 1/2 minutes. Had to scrape off the top. I will broil for 4-5 minutes next time.
Great recipe.
Delicious!! Easy to fix for a quick meal but much fancier than scrambled eggs. I’m already thinking of several different versions with tomatoes, peppers and other cheeses.
