Asparagus Scramble With Herbed Cream Cheese & Tomatoes

Recipe yields 6 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound asparagus spears, ends trimmed
  • 8 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces whipped garlic and herb cream cheese
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced in halves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

  1. Blanch asparagus spears in medium pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add eggs. Stir until eggs are almost set, about 1 minute. Add cheese in dollops and then add tomatoes. Stir until cheese melts and eggs are softly set, about 2 minutes.
  4. To serve, cut asparagus spears into 2-3-inch pieces and fold into egg mixture and place on heated plate or oval ovenware. Garnish with chopped parsley.
  5. Option: Serve an additional 2-3 spears of cooked asparagus on the side.
