Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon fresh sage, roughly chopped (updated from bunch that auto appeared)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup pecorino cheese, grated (can subsitute your preference for cheese)
24 stalks asparagus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk, sage, thyme, garlic, pecorino and season with cracked black pepper.
  • Lay the asparagus lengthways in a pan with just enough salted boiling water to cover the spears. Cook for 2 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  • Heat a large non stick flat pan with a little olive oil. Pour a ladle of the egg mixture into the pan and roll the pan around until the egg is thinly layered over the base and it is cooked on one side. Reduce the heat and flip to cook the egg on the other side.
  • Repeat until all the egg mixture is used up.
  • Fill the crepes with asparagus and serve with an extra sprinkle of grated pecorino.
  • Note: To prepare asparagus take the tender stalk in both hands; gently hold the spear end of the stalk with one hand while you snap the bottom end off with the other hand. Then trim the broken end with a sharp knife and the asparagus is ready to cook.
