This is my favorite way to serve asparagus in an entree. So, every May this gets "front and center" treatment for lunch and sometimes dinner!
This recipe is very flexible, I added ham below (we did that today for the first time) - but it is great without it (fresh asparagus really brings enough flavor on its own). We have added feta cheese instead cheddar and that went very well with the asparagus. Doesn't need a whole lot of extras in terms of herbs either, let the fresh ingredients do all the talking.
Ingredients
- 10 awesomely farm-fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- one bunch of asparagus, chopped
- 8 oz ham steak, cubed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2-4 oz of cheddar cheese, grated
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Beat the eggs and milk together.
- Add salt and pepper
- Add asparagus bits and stir to mix 'em up.
- Spray oil on a 9 x 9 pan.
- Pour in egg/asparagus mixture.
- Top with cubed ham and cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then let cool for 5 minutes.
