Ingredients

  • 3 eggs 
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan 
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • 4 asparagus spears, trimmed, sliced on an angle

Instructions

Preheat grill to high. Using a fork, whisk together eggs and parmesan in a bowl, and season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir in 2 tsp water.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium–high heat and cook asparagus, tossing every now and then, for a minute or so until asparagus has cooked through.

Reduce heat to medium and stir in eggs, gently scraping the bottom of the pan with the back of a fork, so the egg mixture doesn’t catch and burn. When nearly cooked through, transfer pan under grill to brown the top. Serve immediately.
