Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup asparagus tips cut into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk or half and half
  • 2-3 oz Boursin cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp chives chopped
  • 1 tbsp italian parsley chopped
  • 4 oz prosciutto torn into small pieces

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375ºF.
  2. In a cast iron pan or oven safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the asparagus tips and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the asparagus is vibrant.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, crumbled Boursin, lemon zest, lemon juice, herbs, a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth but not overly frothy. Stir in the prosciutto pieces.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus in the skillet. Let cook 2-3 minutes to set the edges, then transfer to the oven.
  5. Bake 12-15 minutes until golden at the edges and just set in the middle.
  6. Sprinkle with fresh herbs, lemon zest, or a pinch of salt before serving to finish.
