Directions
1. To make the asparagus scrambled eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add one teaspoon of oil. Whisk until smooth and combined.
2. Melt butter with olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Saute the chopped asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes until crisp and tender.
3. Pour the eggs into the skillet with asparagus, and let them cook for a few seconds without stirring, then pull a rubber spatula across the bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds of scrambled eggs.
4. Continue cooking the scrambled eggs over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs and asparagus every few seconds. Scrape the spatula along the bottom and sides of the pan regularly. As a few sprinkles of shredded cheddar and fold them into the eggs.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat when the eggs are mostly set, but a little liquid egg remains. If you like your scrambled eggs fluffier, remove them a little earlier, and they finish cooking off-heat. If you prefer them stiffer, let them cook for 30 seconds more. Season the asparagus scrambled eggs to taste with salt and pepper and garnish with red chili pepper flake and chopped scallion if desired. Serve immediately – Enjoy! ❤️
