Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 3 large stalks of asparagus shaved into ribbons
  • 2 chive blossoms optional
  • 2 tablespoons diced chives
  • 3 eggs
  • pinch salt & pepper
  • 1 ounce goat cheese

Instructions

  • Heat a 9-inch, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, and once it is warm, add the asparagus and chives. If using chive blossoms, remove the petals from 1 of the chive blossoms and add them to the pan as well. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then, remove the asparagus mixture from the pan and set aside for later.

  • Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the frying pan and reheat. Pour the eggs into the pan and gently twist the pan so the eggs fill the whole base of the pan. Let them cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the eggs begin to set.
