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.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound thin asparagus, rinsed, woody ends removed
3 tablespoons unsalted imported or organic butter
12 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 to 1/2 cup heavy cream (preferably organic)
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Melt half of the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add all the asparagus and cook, gently stirring, to heat thoroughly.
  • Meanwhile, melt the remaining butter in a large skillet. Add the eggs and whisk in a figure eight, making sure the edges of the eggs don?t stick. When the eggs are almost set, slowly pour in the cream, a little at a time, continuing to whisk briskly.
  • Sprinkle in the chives and whisk until the eggs are completely set. Divide the eggs and asparagus evenly among four plates, placing the spears and diced asparagus around the eggs or stack the spears so they lean against the eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
