Categories     Low Carb

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ lb asparagus
5-6 green onions
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¼ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400˚. Remove part of the dark greens from the green onions and set aside. Remove last ½" of asparagus if needed. If asparagus stalks and green onions are thick, carefully slice length-wise in halves or even quarters. Toss with ½ tablespoon olive oil and roast until tender, 10-15 minutes. Once asparagus is close to being tender, heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in an 8" cast iron skillet over medium. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and blue cheese. Pour into hot skillet and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Take tender asparagus mixture and layer in the eggs as they cook. Continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until bottom begins to set. Transfer skillet to oven, still at 400˚, and continue to cook until set, 8-10 minutes. Serve with extra blue cheese and finely diced dark green onion bits.
