Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Milk or Cream
8 Spears Asparagus, Trimmed & Cut Into 1 Inch Pieces
1/2 Cup Diced Pancetta or smoked bacon
1lb of Chopped Kale (center ribs discarded)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
3 Ounces Creamy Goat Cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a pot of water, cook the asparagus until tender, then remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Cook kale in a 4/6 qt. pot of boiling salted water until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately transfer to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain again, squeezing the excess moisture then coarsely chop. In a heavy oven-proof skillet, heat the oil, then cook the pancetta until lightly browned, then add the kale and cook for 1-2 min. Beat together the eggs and milk, and season with salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then scatter the pancetta, kale, and asparagus over the top. Break up the goat cheese with your fingers and scatter over the egg mixture. Cook over low-medium heat until the bottom is set and lightly browned, about 5 minutes and then place in the oven. Cook until the eggs are completely set and beginning to brown, about 7 to 8 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
