Quick Eggs & Asparagus Breakfast

Ingredients

We all have those busy weekday mornings, where breakfast is either skipped, picked up on the go, or scarfed down on the way out the door. While these meals (or invisible ones) are also probably delicious, let's be honest, a nice warm breakfast to start the day is always a nice treat. Here is a quick healthy treat of a breakfast that is a great way to kick start your morning.

Cut asparagus in diagonal strips and sprinkle seasoning on top

This recipe comes to me from one of my mother's cousins, and it is a meal we generally eat when we visit her for Easter. Eggs and Asparagus is a delicious and quick way to get some protein and vegetables into your morning diet. This meal takes me about 12 minutes to prep and make.

What you'll need:
- Egg(s) (I do one, but you can do as many as you want)
- Asparagus (Generally I try and keep a 1:1 ratio, so 1 egg = 1 asparagus, 2 eggs = 2 asparagus, etc.)
- Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Bread (For some grains in the meal, I prefer wheat but any bread will work. I also tend to do the same 1:1 ratio for bread to eggs.)


How to Make it:

Cook eggs to your preference

1. Put the bread in the toaster and set to your level of preference (if you prefer a lighter toasting do this step after you pull together the ingredients), and start the toaster.
2. Pull the ingredients together and cut the asparagus into diagonal strips, and scramble the egg(s). At this point you'll want to preheat the pan on a low to medium low heat. 



Add a fruit side to get as many food groups in the meal. 

3. Put a little Extra Virgin Olive Oil in your heated pan and add in the asparagus. Once it starts turning a bright green after a few minutes you'll want to sprinkle on the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Personally I take the caps off the salt and garlic powder and sprinkle it with my fingers so as not to over season. Then use your spatula to stir around the asparagus and spread the seasoning around the pan.
4. The toast might be done by now, personally I butter it and then cut it diagonally and place on the plate.
5. Add in the scrambled eggs and cook to your liking, then enjoy.

MMM Enjoy!

I also like to pair it with a fruit, generally bananas as those can be taken on the go and are a nice fruit to add for a more balanced meal. You can also eat the eggs and toast separately; my preference is putting the eggs on the toast for a little crunch and medley of the flavors. 

 I hope you enjoy this delicious breakfast!
