Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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!

This is an incredibly delicious, easy to make dish. Presents elegantly for a Brunch. We love it!
Super creamy eggs! I added grated Parmesan cheese on top of the asparagus for the last minutes of roasting.
I don’t eat vegetables often as I should. But the mix of the two, asparagus and eggs, was actually delicious!
Never thought eggs & asparagus would be so good together!
i personally din’t like the taste of asparagus and eggs together.
So if this is a twist on some northern italy favorite it is NOT a copy it is their own creation (twist. I have served to several guests and even my grandsons like it.
Fraud? If you watch her show, she does not include salt and pepper in her 5 because they are basics.
I really don’t know why it matters whether this was done by Claire or some other well known chef. It’s a great recipe and I don’t think Claire claimed it was her very own original recipe! I love watching Claire cook!
Yummy, and salt and pepper don’t count. Pay attention, Houston 😉
more like 5 ingredient fraud!
but delicious.
